I think it's either REMARK or DEMARK, but I don't know whether R.E. or D.E. would be the abbreviation for some kind of worker over there. Since the clue doesn't include anything about commenting (or similar), I'm favoring DEMARK.

Did you come up with this clue?
It is sublime. I'll let others enjoy it.

Sounds like it could be a sea?

I did, but I think I should make it more accurate:

Needs one letter X and a worker.

New clue -
Occupying it wasn't really applicable under canvas.

"worker" most often refers to ANT or sometimes BEE

I did get that and was also thinking "sex worker" -- but the middle T in SEXTANT fell on some kind of Schroedinger's mental blind spot over here.
