Description
This layer depicts the Food Standards Scotland (FSS) representative monitoring points for biotoxins. Representative monitoring points (RMPs) show where samples are collected to measure for the presence of biotoxin contamination in Shellfish Harvesting Areas. The RMP is considered to be the point most likely to be representative or indicative of any toxicity in the area. RMPs are primarily selected on a geographical basis, and according to the history of toxic events in the area.
Results of the weekly biotoxin monitoring programme and details of the Shellfish Harvesting Classification areas for Scotland can be found on the Shellfish Results page of the FSS web site (https://www.foodstandards.gov.scot/).
