The water needs a different color or you need a border, Chile and Bolivia just dissolve and you can't really tell where the actual border is.

The map is about tree density, no elevated earth masses, so if there are as many trees in those places as there are in the ocean, I think the map does its job

Borders are largely irrelevant here, this is not a political map.

That's not the point. There needs to be a delineation between where the coast ends and the water begins. It can be a border or the water can be a different color, doesn't matter.

Kind of the point

I don't think that's helpful or even looks good. If the point is so people can see where there are and aren't forests, now you can't because the shoreline just melts into nothingness. It's really bad practice to use a color that will fade into your background.

Bad practice...... Says who?

I just clearly told why I think it is bad practice, it makes it impossible to tell how forested the coastlines are.

I support this, plants know no borders.

Plants don't, but humans do... and who do you think is clearing forests?
