They have to be managed in a way that furthers the conservation objectives. The EU Habitats Directive requires Special Areas of Conservation (and Special Protection Areas) to be managed in a way that prevents deterioration of the qualifying features. The dataset contains boundaries and measures which are subject to Marine Conservation Orders (MCOs), the Inshore Fishing (Scotland) Act 1984 or the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) The following URL provides a link to further information: http://www.gov.scot/Topics/marine/marine-environment/mpanetwork/MPAMGT/ Proposed measures will be available during consultations Scottish Government (Marine Scotland) +44 (0)300 244 4000 Mailpoint 11, Area 1B South, Victoria Quay Edinburgh EH6 6QQ United Kingdom marinescotland@gov.scot pointOfContact Scottish Government (Marine Scotland) +44 (0)300 244 4000 Mailpoint 11, Area 1B South, Victoria Quay Edinburgh EH6 6QQ United Kingdom marinescotland@gov.scot custodian Scottish Government (Marine Scotland) +44 (0)300 244 4000 Mailpoint 11, Area 1B South, Victoria Quay Edinburgh EH6 6QQ United Kingdom marinescotland@gov.scot distributor Joint Nature Convervation Committee (JNCC) +44 (0) 1733 562 626 Monkstone House, City Road Peterborough PE1 1JY United Kingdom comment@jncc.gov.uk  originator Ordnance Survey +44 (0) 3456 05 05 05 customerservices@os.uk originator Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) Leachkin Road Inverness IV3 8NW United Kingdom enquiries@snh.gov.uk originator unknown Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Administration and dimensions SeaDatanet Parameter Disciplines 2008-05-01 revision Area management/restriction/regulation zones and reporting units Protected sites GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2009-07-31 revision Open Government License (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/) The following attribution statement must be used: Contains information from the Scottish Government (Marine Scotland) licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. otherRestrictions no limitations to public access 10.00 eng environment -14.89295 2.605066 54.43328 63.88707 SeaDataNet vertical extent keywords 2010-01-01 revision There is no appropriate value 2015-06-16 2018-09-11 http://marine.gov.scot/information/mpa-and-sac-management-marine-conservation-orders-mcos-and-fisheries-management-measures download http://msmap1.atkinsgeospatial.com/geoserver/nmpwfs/ows?token=d46ffd2a-e192-4e51-8a6a-b3292c20f1ee&service=wfs&version=1.1.0&request=GetCapabilities download http://msmap1.atkinsgeospatial.com/geoserver/nmpwfs/ows?token=d46ffd2a-e192-4e51-8a6a-b3292c20f1ee&service=wms&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities download http://msmap1.atkinsgeospatial.com/geoserver/nmpwfs/ows?token=d46ffd2a-e192-4e51-8a6a-b3292c20f1ee&service=wfs&request=getFeature&typeName=nmpwfs:area_management_marine_conservation_orders&outputFormat=shape-zip&srsName=EPSG:4326 download http://msmap1.atkinsgeospatial.com/geoserver/nmpwfs/ows?token=d46ffd2a-e192-4e51-8a6a-b3292c20f1ee&service=wfs&request=getFeature&typeName=nmpwfs:area_management_marine_conservation_orders_proposed&outputFormat=shape-zip&srsName=EPSG:4326 download https://marinescotland.atkinsgeospatial.com/nmpi/default.aspx?availablelayers=838 download https://marinescotland.atkinsgeospatial.com/nmpi/default.aspx?availablelayers=808 download dataset The boundaries of the Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) were received from the Government advisor, Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). Any data using British National Grid (EPSG:27700) was transformed to WGS84 (ESPG:4326) using EPSG:1314 transformation. The boundary of the Loch Sunart to Sound of Jura MPA was modified to include the Firth of Lorn SAC and to include harbour areas of Kilchoan and Craignure to mean low water spring (MLWS). The boundary of Lochs Duish, Long and Alsh MPA was modified to include the south extent of the Lochs Duish, Long and Alsh SAC along MLWS. Coastlines (mean high water spring, MHWS, or mean low water spring) are derived from Ordnance Survey MasterMap. Management measures and their boundaries were created by the Marine Conservation team following consultations.
