Hello,

Would it be possible to include the ocean geoname id along with the name? I think it would be more convinient than having just the name.

Thank you for your answer

I would be glad to help.

I started looking for the missing geonameid's and I noticed that often more than one features exist for the same ocean name. For example, there are two features for the Gulf Of Panama, both with the same feature code and at the same latitude/longitude only one has the name "Gulf of Panama" and the other "Golfo de Panamá". I suppose the dublicate entry should not be there?

I'll post a list with the missing id's as soon as possible.

Regards
marc

You are right, I have deleted one of the two Gulf of Panamas.
