Fix Gaeta V continent coastline by moving 6 "spare" offshore water regions inshore

There are 6 places around the Gaeta V continent which have very narrow pinch points, and whose protected waterways run too close to region corners and private parcels which are hazardous to a smooth sailing pathway around the Gaeta V continent.
These 6 places can easily be fixed without expensively creating any new regions, or affecting Resident parcels near to these "pinch points".
By luck or coincidence, there are 6 outer "spare" water regions further offshore which are not currently well used or essential to sailing around the Gaeta V continent. They seem not to be used often and could be moved inshore to improve Gaeta V's inshore coastline.
The map I've drawn below features these 6 "spare" offshore regions (in turquoise) and where these "spare" offshore regions should be moved to (in red) inshore.
Relocating these 6 "spare" offshore regions would ease and prevent the current inshore narrow pinch points and help to avoid hazardous narrow waterways and entering into Resident's private parcel territories. This would also make the Gaeta V continent more compatible for sailing larger "tall ship" style vessels around the continent too.
I strongly suggest and propose that the 6 "spare" offshore water regions (Twelve Fathoms, Qoopz, Gaeta Reef, Christarn, Sciello and Unquar) be treated as "donor" regions and relocated to these 6 new inshore positions.

Ofcourse you get the same answer I got over and over again in the past about the seriously malformed Gaeta I.

Excellent idea! Moving these empty regions doesn't impact sailors as there are still full water regions surrounding the coast, but it will make narrow pinch points now safely navigable. Since the regions to be moved contain no resident owned property, this shouldn't effect any residents, plus existing coastline residents still retain their ocean views.

Eowyn Southmoor I agree! This seems like a very workable solution for the pinch points here, with a minimum of fuss and, as mentioned, no need to create new regions.
I wonder if a similar strategy could be employed for Heterocera, to fix the currently impassable corner where Tiger, Togata, and Moma meet.
In looking at the atoll's coastline, there's likewise a "spare" region in the northeast, Blush. It could be moved to that other corner without affecting the existing waterways, finally allowing for circumnavigation of the entire continent. 🗺

Erik Mondrian Good idea. I added it to the Heterocera Feedback at https://feedback.secondlife.com/ldpw/p/please-complete-heterocera-continent-coastline

Hello Sarah! thank you for the suggestions to move these regions. We do not have any current plans to update existing mainland, but may be able to consider these moves at a later date.
