Turn a place name ('outside Halifax', 'Strait of Hormuz', 'Bergen, Norway') into water coordinates. Maritime gazetteer first (ports resolve to their approaches, straits/seas to a representative point), then OpenStreetMap. Points on land or shallower than min_depth_m are walked seaward along the gazetteer bearing (or the nearest direction) until deep enough; the original point and the snap are reported. offshore_km pushes the point further out along seaward_bearing_deg. All location tools also accept `place` directly, so a separate call is only needed to inspect.
