| Aquaculture - Active marine aquaculture sites (18.11.2024) |
This layer contains point data identifying the location of active finfish or shellfish farms around Scotland from the Fish Health Inspectorate Aquadat database. This includes fishery sites which are ponds or other installation where farmed fish are stocked for recreational fishing (either private or commercial). Active is the status of a site that is stocked or fallow with the intention of restocking in the foreseeable future. Spatial Data is extracted from the Aquadat database maintained by the Fish Health Inspectorate of Marine Scotland. The point data online is regularly updated via an XML update. |
| Annual Cycles of Physical, Chemical and Biological Parameters in Scottish Waters |
For over 100 years Marine Scotland, under various names, has conducted marine research in the waters around Scotland which has included the measurement of physical and chemical parameters at standard sections worked routinely over a number of years, and at ad hoc stations whose timing and location were determined by individual projects. The 'Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 4 No 1' paper presents summary tables of a selection of these parameters in twenty six sub-areas of Scottish waters selected because of their distinct hydrographic characteristics. Only data from 1960 have been used. The layer describes areas of Scottish seas for which there are 'Annual Cycles of Physical, Chemical and Biological Parameters' available as part of the 'Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 4 No 1'. DOI: 10.7489/1511-1. The 'Feature Information' for each polygon will bring up an attribute table that includes the sea area name, a DOI (that takes you to the data from that area) and a url (that opens the data .csv file).

| West Scotland shelf analysis visual corrected harbour porpoise count data (summer 1994 to 2011) |
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. |
