Hi all,
I've been contacted by an OSM user confused about what to do on the coast
of The Wash.

Basically the two ways:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/2961222
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/35834999

are both natural=coastline there, but the former, an "island" is inside the
latter so can't really be coastline.

However, the latter (the main coastline) in this area is inaccurate, and
should really follow the Mean High Water level more precisely.

i) The MHW on OS OpenData StreetView runs around the 'island' to the north,
meaning the island should be removed, or at least relabelled...
ii) ...but the 'coastline' on OS LandRanger maps (which should also be the
MHW, shouldn't it?) runs well to the south of the 'island'.

So I'm confused. I think it's clear that the main coastline needs refining,
but it's not clear where to.

S.
