So, the definition is β€œa body of water from which one can navigate - even if by river or canal - to an ocean”? How big does the traversal have to be - if I can get there by canoe without portage, does that count? What about Lake Eirie? AFAIK, you can’t navigate without portage from Eirie to the Atlantic, but it connects to Lake Ontario via the Niagara River.

The map doesn’t count the Mississippi river, it’s not about ship navigation.

It’s a bad map, but it makes sense and calling the great lakes a coast isn’t that weird.

Any arguments to have to follow up are pointless and will fall on deaf ears, I don’t really care about your protests.

Okay. I don’t think it’s a bad map; I think it would have helped to define what counts as β€œa coast,” is all.
