Area Management - Scottish Assessment Areas - Scottish Sea Areas (Clean and Safe Seas Monitoring)

The 15 Scottish sea areas are based on areas previously adopted for certain environmental monitoring programmes. The data from these 15 areas can be presented regionally and also reasonably aggregated to form a national picture and to develop information for the two main areas required for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive initial assessment: the Greater North Sea (Area II) and the Celtic Seas (Area III) which are existing sea areas used by OSPAR (the Oslo Paris Convention for the Protection of the North East Atlantic)

苏格兰海域共分为十五个区域，这些区域基于先前为特定环境监测项目所采纳的区域划分。这些十五个区域的数据可以按区域进行展示，并且可以合理地汇总以形成一个全国性的概览，并为《海洋战略框架指令》初步评估所需的两个主要区域提供信息：北海大区（区域II）和凯尔特海区（区域III），这两个区域是 OSPAR（奥斯陆巴黎公约，旨在保护东北大西洋）所使用的现有海域。
