Regenerating existing oceans?

From what I can tell with the new 1.13 update, the terrain generation appears virtually the same, meaning that it may be possible to regenerate chunks with ocean biome in it to generate with the new ocean features. If this really is the case, we could possible not only expand the world border, but also update any oceans that have already spawned it.

Thoughts?

I like the idea. Of course, some care would have to be taken around towns that are in/near water.
 
Absolutely, so I think it's fair that we can maybe request surrounding oceans around individual territories to be regenerated by their owners

Not a bad idea, it will involve some manual labor and put some strain on the server during the regeneration - but should be doable.
The only worrying thought is if anyone has anything underneath a sea - while the chances are slim, anything under it will also be regenerated.

Aquasphere (my friend's town) is almost completely submerged, but it should be fine so long as nothing happens too close to its towny borders.
