Description
This layer depicts the Food Standards Scotland (FSS) representative monitoring points for phytoplankton monitoring. Representative monitoring points (RMPs) show where samples are collected to measure for the presence of toxin-producing phytoplankton in Shellfish Harvesting Areas. The majority are concentrated in the major shellfish producing regions of Argyll and Shetland. The RMP is considered to be the point most likely to be representative or indicative of any algae bloom in the area.
Results of the weekly biotoxin monitoring programme and details of the Shellfish Harvesting Classification areas for Scotland can be found on Shellfish Results page of the FSS web site (https://www.foodstandards.gov.scot/).
