In order to better understand the nature, extent and intensity of interactions amongst coastal users, Marine Scotland asked the Local Coastal Partnerships to collect spatial data not already represented in national datasets. This map shows important areas for boat tours. It was created by the East Grampian Local Coastal Partnership, and covers the area of sea out to 12 miles. The source was from a small operator offering seal watching and represents a small part of the Grampian Region (Gourdon). There are other boat tours in the region which have not been captured and so the data set is incomplete.

| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2011 Tourism: Important areas for boat tours around Grampian |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | d9565ac1e8c72fbab5ebd70bf86861f0 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | EGCP-8 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |

| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | In order to better understand the nature, extent and intensity of interactions amongst coastal users, Marine Scotland asked the Local Coastal Partnerships to collect spatial data not already represented in national datasets. This map shows important areas for boat tours. It was created by the East Grampian Local Coastal Partnership, and covers the area of sea out to 12 miles. The source was from a small operator offering seal watching and represents a small part of the Grampian Region (Gourdon). There are other boat tours in the region which have not been captured and so the data set is incomplete. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This dataset was collected by the East Grampian Coastal Partnership who interviewed one boat tour operator and mapped the location of the activity directly into UDIG GIS with the contributor. No social or economic questions were asked. The data was then 'cleansed' by Marine Atlas Consultants (commissioned by the Scottish Coastal Forum) - the projection was changed from BNG to WGS86, a table was attributed retrospectively with the interviewer to ensure it complies with Quality Assurance SOPs, MEDIN data standards (as best as possible), and confidence levels assigned using criteria based on "MMO checklist to assess the quality of evidence". This best practice is detailed in a final report to the EGCP and the SCF. |
