What it contains
Esri ArcGIS Hub publishing SEPA's spatial environmental datasets: water body boundaries and classification, groundwater bodies, bathing waters, flood risk, licensed sites, contaminated land indicators, air quality.
When you need it
Not yet mapped to a project stage. The stage axis is a first pass against a draft matrix, and a record with no stage means nobody has placed it rather than that it is useful at none.
Coverage and detail
- Nations

Caveats
SEPA's regulatory registers (CAR authorisations, abstraction) are NOT on the Hub as spatial data - see absences. Hub search API returns Esri metadata, not ISO 19115, so crosswalking is needed.
