The seabed surface and its underlying rock formations are a complex mix of geological structures and sediments. This layer is a Web Map Service (WMS) from MAREMAP (Marine Environmental Mapping Programme) from data provided by British Geological Survey. It displays the offshore UK Contintental Shelf Seabed Sediments (1:1M scale).
Eleven multi-stakeholder area advisory groups were created across Scotland to contribute to the development and delivery of the first river basin plans.This is a Web Map Service (WMS) layer which shows Water Framework Directive (WFD) Sub Basin Districts for Scotland.
The UK continental shelf is subdivided into eight areas for the purposes of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA).
SEA is the process of appraisal through which environmental protection and sustainable development may be considered, and factored into national and local decisions regarding Government (and other) plans and programmes – such as oil and gas licensing rounds and other offshore energy developments, including renewables and gas and carbon dioxide storage.
Subsea supply pipelines (oil, gas, condensate, water, and other) around Scotland and adjacent waters. The offshore data is provided by a web service whereas pipelines within territorial baselines are derived from OceanWise Marine Themes under license.
