Resolve study region and clipping

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Do bays and estuaries need to be included in the study region?  Are they 
important to nearshore habitat and energy site shapes?

As it is now you're only allowed to draw shapes within the study region and 
everything else is clipped out.

How clipping is done could be customized based on what type of thing you're 
drawing.

Tanya your guy's thoughts here would be good.

Since its just general areas of inquiry users are drawing it was discussed we 
don't particularly need clipping, it may overcomplicate.  For example wave 
energy concepts may actually be partially terrestrial, etc.  Does that sound 
reasonable to move forward with?

Study region. If no clipping needed can we just go with displaying the Oregon 
territorial sea? (without most bays and estuaries).  Look at 
chinook.marinemap.org, the dev server, and see what study region (in yellow) we 
have now.  The bays and estuaries are included in detail.  A simpler study 
region would certainly have better performance.

optional 'manipulators' are being developed.  Users can choose whether to clip 
to the shoreline and/or the territorial sea.
