| Dredge Spoil Deposit Sites - Closed and Disused - Layer being updated - use with caution |
***LAYER BEING UPDATED - USE WITH CAUTION*** This layer shows the locations of dredge spoil deposit sites that are designated as disused (not used for at least 5 years) or closed (not used for at least 10 years or specifically closed). The spoil is usually as a result of navigational dredging (deepening of navigation channels) on the approaches to ports and harbours. |
| Leisure Mooring Agreements - Crown Estate Scotland - December 2019 |
The laying of a permanent mooring or other equipment to hold a vessel requires consent from the relevant landowner. For the seabed, this consent will nearly always come from Crown Estate Scotland, who issue three types of mooring licence.

| Mask Layer - Scottish Zone |
A mask layer depicting the exclusive economic zone limits adjacent to Scotland, which reflects the extent of the Scottish zone defined in the Scotland Act 1998. |
| Human Population - Mid-2016 Population Estimates for Localities in Scotland (NRS) |
This layer shows the population density (persons per hectare) estimate by locality. The estimate is derived from the report "Mid-2016 Population Estimates for Settlements and Localities in Scotland" by National Records of Scotland (NRS). Localities correspond to the more recognisable towns and cities of Scotland which can be found within settlements. They also have a minimum rounded population of 500 people or more. The locality data sets are updated every 2 years. |

| Eutrophication - Phosphates - 2012 to 2019 |
Since 2001 surface water samples have been collected from Scottish coastal and offshore waters during January, and have been analysed for nutrients (nitrate, phosphate, silicate and ammonia) with the aim of establishing regional background nutrient concentrations and contributing towards an assessment of the eutrophication status of Scottish coastal and offshore waters. Surface water samples were collected at 15 minute intervals from the non-toxic water supply of FRV Scotia IV, during the MSS CSEMP cruise. The input for the non-toxic water supply is situated on the hull of the ship at a depth of ~ 4.5 m. Water samples were analysed at sea within 10 hours of collection (where possible) using a Bran & Luebbe QuAAtro continuous flow autoanalyser. The method for analysis of nutrients in seawater is accredited to ISO17025 standards by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service. Nutrient data can be assessed against assessment criteria established by OSPAR as indicators of nutrient enrichment (OSPAR 2005). Background levels (or concentrations) and assessment levels (50% above background levels) are used to assess nutrient concentrations; concentrations above the assessment level may lead, in time, to an undesirable disturbance to the marine ecosystem. |

| Eutrophication - Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (salinity normalised) 2012-2019 |

Background levels (or concentrations) and assessment levels (50% above background levels) are used to assess nutrient concentrations; concentrations above the assessment level may lead, in time, to an undesirable disturbance to the marine ecosystem. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) is the sum of the concentration of total oxidised nitrogen (TOxN) and ammonia. Ammonia contributes only about 5% to the DIN concentration in Scottish regions |
| Coastal settlement typology - Scotland 2016 - Industrial roots |
The Industrial roots layer consists of 40 coastal localities characterized by industry. This is characterized on the basis of their census based socio-economic and demographic characteristics. This is the second stage of a based on a two-stage cluster analysis of coastal localities (defined as within 2 kilometres of the coast) with populations of greater than 1000 (for reasons of confidentiality). The localities in this cluster show higher than coastal average for employment in manufacturing, retail, wholesale, transport and admin. It is above coastal average for all economically inactive variables. This is coupled with highest deprivation, low qualification obtainment, and high levels of social rented housing. These populations are characterised by higher than average numbers of children (0-15), one parent families and poor health. This cluster however shows that these places are well served by infrastructure and public transport is the dominant means of commuting to work, with above coastal average for those working within 10km. |
| Coastal settlement typology - Scotland 2016 - Historic university |
The historic university town layer consists of 1 coastal locality characterized by the presence of a university. This is characterized on the basis of their census based socio-economic and demographic characteristics. This is the second stage of a based on a two-stage cluster analysis of coastal localities (defined as within 2 kilometres of the coast) with populations of greater than 1000 (for reasons of confidentiality). This town has been characterised by high levels of accommodation/food services and education industry employment. Low levels of both fulltime employment, and unemployment. There is a high population of students (and ages 16-24), and managerial and professional workers with a high qualification profile, and low deprivation. There is low numbers of over 45’s and fewer families than in other clusters. The housing sector is dominated by private rented. |
