Hi everyone

OpenStreetMap has a wealth of info on nature protected areas like Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), where local and national authorities have different enforcement responsibilities depending on what's gone wrong.

I haven't seen those in the https://global.mapit.mysociety.org server, and I was wondering if I've just missed it, or if they could be added, e.g. from https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/datahub/datahubitem-view/6fc8ad2d-195d-40f4-bdec-576e7d1268e4 for Natura 2000 sites in Europe?

Also, another edge case perhaps for FixMyStreet... the Mean High Water Mark is the boundary where responsibilities for some environmental compliance assurance and enforcement passes from local to national authorities in some countries. I don't think they are in the OSM site yet, but available from most governments on their open data websites. If we wanted one of those (I'm interested in the island of Ireland) on the MySociety's MapIt server, how/who would we ask?

Best
Eoin
