Fishing - Scottish Under 12m vessels - Annual average value (2017-2021) of Rod and Lines (£) |
Owners or masters of Scottish fishing vessels under 12m overall length must declare a latitude and longitude position (DD MM) on each fishing day indicating where the majority of the catch was taken. This data has been recorded since 2016 for vessels submitting Fish 1 forms and from 2018 onwards for vessels submitting paper logbooks. This dataset aggregates the positions declared between 2017 and 2021, along with the associated catch weight and values, into C-Squares of 0.05 x 0.05 decimal degrees. The data is grouped into sectors of This data includes catches of razor clams up until 1st February 2018. Since this date, only vessels involved in the scientific trial can land razor clams. Data will be published on these vessels once the trial is complete. |

Areas where fishing with BOTTOM CONTACTING MOBILE GEAR is prohibited or not practical |
Fishing pressures can be managed using spatial measures such as prohibiting or restricting certain types of fishing, target species, or vessel capacity. This dataset depicts areas where fishing with BOTTOM CONTACTING MOBILE GEAR is prohibited by EU, UK and Scottish legislation since 1986. Polygons were simplified for web use and are for illustrative purposes only. Guidance should be sought from Fishery Offices on interpreting legislation. Bottom contacting mobile gear includes trawls, seines, and dredges. Management areas are included for vulnerable marine ecosystems, and deep sea corals. These deep sea areas do not specifically prohibit dredging, but cover areas of sea too deep for dredging to take place. |
European Diploma Areas (SNH WMS) |
The European Diploma is an award established by the Council of Europe under Regulation (65) 6 of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe of 6 March 1965 for certain landscapes, reserves and protected national features, and Resolution (73) 4 of 19 January 1973 on the Regulations for the European Diploma (amended and revised by Resolution (88) 39 of 5 December 1988, (89) 12 of 19 June 1989 and (91) 16 of 17 June 1989). By awarding the European Diploma, the Council of Europe recognises that the area is of particular European interest for natural-heritage and that the area is properly protected. The Diploma can be awarded to national parks, nature reserves or natural areas, sites or features. The award is for a five-year period. Annual reports are required for each area, and the renewal of the award at 5 years is only made after independent assessment of the site. The Diploma can be withdrawn at any time if the area comes under threat or suffers serious damage. |
Geological Conservation Review Sites (SNH WMS) |
The Geological Conservation Review (GCR) is the register of known nationally and internationally important Earth science (geological and geomorphological) sites in Great Britain. |
Areas where deposits of marine chemical and marine oil treatments require approval |
The Marine Licensing (Exempted Activities) (Scottish Offshore Region) Order 2011 requires that no deposit of marine chemical and marine oil treatment substances is made in an area of the sea of a depth of less than 20 metres, or within one nautical mile of any such area, except with the approval of the Scottish Ministers. |
August counts of harbour seals between 1996 and 1997 at 10 km resolution |
NatureScot and Joint Nature Conservation Committee have collated data from various sources forming the Geodatabase of Marine features adjacent to Scotland (GeMS). This collation of species and habitat records provides information on the known recorded distribution of Scottish Priority Marine Features (PMFs), and Annex I habitats in the marine environment and is used as the core evidence base to support the Scottish Marine Protected Area (MPA) network. This web map service is a redacted version of the latest GEMS, providing non-sensitive data on the species and habitats included in the collation. |
