| Human Population - Census 2011 - Density of Usual Residents by Output Areas |
Usual residents and their density by output areas as determined during 2011 Census. Output Areas are the smallest geographical area for which census results are published. Table data on usual residents was downloaded from Census 2011 website(http://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/r1-downloadable-files) and joined to 2001 output areas polygons. Density was calculated by dividing usual residents by the polygon area (hectares measured on British National Grid projection). |
| Marine Directorate Seabed photo locations |
Marine Scotland has undertaken survey and monitoring work to provide expert scientific and technical advice to support Scottish Government policies and regulatory responsibilities. The videos and images produced during these seabed surveys are useful for a wide range of activities and research. These datasets have been georeferenced and mapped using Google Earth. This layer depicts the seabed video track locations. |
| Human Population - Census 2011 - Density of Usual Residents by Datazone |
Usual residents and their density by datazone as determined during 2011 Census. Scotland is divided into 6,505 data zones which are the main geography used for small area statistics. The table data on usual residents was downloaded from Census 2011 website(http://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/r1-downloadable-files) and joined to 2001 datazones polygons. The density was calculated by dividing usual residents by the polygon area (hectares measured on British National Grid projection). |
| Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) contributing to the MPA network (SNH WMS) (OSCP) |
A Marine Protected Area (MPA) network in Scotland’s Seas is designed to conserve a selection of marine biodiversity (species and habitats) and geodiversity (the variety of landforms and natural processes that underpin the marine landscapes), offering long-term support for the services our seas provide to society. Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) are those areas of land and water (to the seaward limits of local authority areas or MLWS) that Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) considers to best represent our natural heritage - its diversity of plants, animals and habitats, rocks and landforms, or a combinations of such natural features. They are the essential building blocks of Scotlands protected areas for nature conservation. Many are also designated as Natura sites (Special Protection Areas or Special Areas of Conservation). The national network of SSSIs in Scotland forms part of the wider GB series. SNH designates SSSIs under the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004. SSSIs are protected by law. It is an offence for any person to intentionally or recklessly damage the protected natural features of an SSSI. This layer is a Web Map Service (WMS) displaying Scotland's SSSI's that contribute to the MPA network. |
| Scottish Marine Regions (SMRs) - Scottish Marine Regions Order 2015 |
Under the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010, Scottish Ministers were given the power to identify the boundaries of Scottish Marine Regions (SMRs) for the purposes of regional marine planning. The Scottish Marine Regions Order 2015 identifies 11 Scottish Marine Regions and establishes their boundaries. Marine planning will take place at a local level within these regions, where regional marine planning will be delegated to Marine Planning Partnerships (MPPs). The order is available via http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ssi/2015/193/contents/made In August 2018, the Scottish Marine Regions were added to the Scottish Register of Geographic Codes as entity S41. |
| Special Protection Areas (SPAs) contributing to the MPA network (SNH WMS) (OSCP) |
The Marine Protected Area (MPA) network in Scotland’s Seas is designed to conserve a selection of marine biodiversity (species and habitats) and geodiversity (the variety of landforms and natural processes that underpin the marine landscapes), offering long-term support for the services our seas provide to society. Special Protection Areas (SPAs) in Scotland are classified by Scottish Ministers. These are areas of the most important habitat for rare (listed on Annex I to the Directive) and regularly occurring migratory birds within the European Union. SPAs are classified under the EC Birds Directive and together with SACs, form the Natura 2000 network. Proposed Special Protection Areas (pSPA) may be subject to change prior to classification. This layer is a Web Map Service (WMS) displaying Scotland's SPA's that contribute to the MPA network. |

| Nature Conservation Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) contributing to the MPA network (SNH WMS) (OSCP) |
The Marine Protected Area (MPA) network in Scotland’s Seas is designed to conserve a selection of marine biodiversity (species and habitats) and geodiversity (the variety of landforms and natural processes that underpin the marine landscapes), offering long-term support for the services our seas provide to society. Scottish Ministers designated a suite of Nature Conservation Marine Protected Areas to conserve some of Scotland's most important marine wildlife, habitats and geodiversity. Nature Conservation MPAs will play an important role in delivering a healthy, productive and biologically diverse marine environment for Scotland. This layer is a Web Map Service (WMS) displaying Scotland's Nature Conservation MPAs. |
| Scottish Adjacent Waters Boundaries Order 1999 (SAWBO) |
The limit of Scotland, as defined in 126(1) of the Scotland Act 1998, is the Territorial Sea (12 mile limit). The Scottish Adjacent Waters Boundaries Order 1999 details the co-ordinates of the boundaries on the east coast (between Scotland and England near Berwick) and the west coast (between Scotland and England in the Solway firth and Scotland and Northern Ireland in the North Channel. |
| Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) contributing to the MPA network (SNH WMS) (OSCP) |
The Marine Protected Area (MPA) network in Scotland’s Seas is designed to conserve a selection of marine biodiversity (species and habitats) and geodiversity (the variety of landforms and natural processes that underpin the marine landscapes), offering long-term support for the services our seas provide to society. Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) in Scotland are designated by Scottish Ministers under the EC Habitats Directive. They are areas which have been identified as best representing the range and variety within the European Union of habitats and (non-bird) species listed on Annexes I and II to the Directive. SACs in terrestrial areas and marine areas out to 12 nautical miles are afforded protection through the Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c.) Regulations 1994 (as amended). Possible Special Areas of Conservation (pSAC) may be subject to change prior to submission. This layer is a Web Map Service (WMS) displaying Scotland's SAC's that contribute to the MPA network. |
