This map shows important areas for surfing around Grampian. 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 commercial kite surfing company and represents a small part of the Grampian Region. There are other forms of surfing which have not been captured and so the data set is incomplete. lorraine gray Marine Atlas Consultants Ltd lorraine@marineatlas.co.uk originator lorraine gray Marine Atlas Consultants Ltd lorraine@marineatlas.co.uk custodian irregular Documents Geographic Information System Google Earth and Oceans Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Land use GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-01-06 revision Inshore activities a thesaurus 2011-09-01 publication Marine environment leisure usage SeaDataNet P021 parameter discovery vocabulary 2009-11-16 revision Data is freely avilable for research or commercial use providing that the originators are acknowledged in any publications produced. otherRestrictions No restrictions to public access 10 English planningCadastre SeaDataNet vertical extent keywords 2010-01-01 revision atmosphere Charting Progress 2 Sea Areas 2009-06-18 creation Northern North Sea ICES Rectangles 2009-05-01 creation 42E7 ICES Rectangles 2009-05-01 creation 44E7 ICES Rectangles 2009-05-01 creation 44E8 International Hydrographic Bureau, Limits of Oceans and Seas 1954-01-01 creation North Sea -2.3259 -2.3103 57.7762 57.7845 -1.6008 -1.5852 57.7411 57.7494 -2.0952 -2.0796 56.6036 56.6122 -2.3918 -2.3763 56.6036 56.6122 2011-05-11 2011-12-14 Gray, L.F.

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.
