mean here also

No, when I wrote "mean tide" I ment the tide, like halfway between low and
high tide. So that would be the mean water-depth. (gemiddelde zeestand of -
waterstand in Dutch).

OK, when mean low tide defines the "coastline" than many parts os the
Waddenzee should be called Waddenland. Because the seefloor is dry than.
