The UK sub region layer  shows how Scottish seas are divided between the two Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) UK sub regions: "Greater North Sea" and "Celtic Seas".

This dataset was produced using a number of datasets supplied to Cefas. This included the boundary of the MSFD area (based on the UK Renewable Energy Zone and limits of the UK continental shelf), Water Framework Directive (WFD), Coastal and Transitional waterbodies (supplied by Environment Agency, Scottish Environmental Protection Agency and Northern Ireland Environment Agency) and using boundaries between Charting Progress 2 reporting areas. The attributes were developed in line with MSFD reporting requirements

In 2014, the Scottish Government commissioned Land Use Consultants to undertake a study to fill data gaps on marine recreation and tourism activity in Scotland and to provide baseline information for marine planning. The project was designed and undertaken with the industry and co-funded by the Scottish Government with additional contributions from The Firth of Clyde Forum, The Crown Estate and The Scottish Coastal Forum.  This layer depicts sea angling from the shore.
