I understand why the measurement of a coastline changes depending on how you measure it. I do not understand why it is important to measure coastlines. ¯\_(ツ)_

- ravi-delia 3y agoIt isn't
- thih9 3y agoNote that it can apply to borders too. > the Portuguese reported their measured border with Spain to be 987 km, but the Spanish reported it as 1214 km.
- naikrovek 3y agook so why does it matter for borders? the location of the border seems important, but not the length.
