The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is responsible for ensuring that shellfish harvesting areas are monitored and classified according to European legislation. This includes responsibility for the designation of harvesting areas, setting standards and reporting the classification of harvesting areas according to the presence of faecal indicator organisms. The degree of shellfish contamination determines the degree of depuration (purification) required before the produce may be commercially marketed. Fishermen may only exploit on a commercial basis those shellfish from areas which have the appropriate FSAS hygiene classification.

A GIS file of designated shellfish waters was provided by SEPA (and this was mapped also using the OS coastline).
