Scottish Marine Regions

This is a vector polygon layer from Marine Scotland showing the statutory inshore Scottish Marine Regions (SMRs) and the non-statutory Offshore Marine Regions (OMRs). The marine regions were developed to define boundaries based on their physical characteristics. In 2011, 11 sea areas were established extending out to 12 nautical miles and these comprise of Argyll, Clyde, Forth and Tray, Moray Firth, North Coast, North East, Outer Hebrides, Orkney Islands, Shetland Isles, Solway and West Highlands. The SMRs are defined by The Scottish Marine Regions Order 2015 and they were added to the code register in 2018. These regions can be used for marine planning. In 2019, another 10 non-statutory Offshore Marine Regions (OMRs) have been identified to be used in the Scottish Marine Assessment atlas (SMA2020). These comprise of Bailey, East Shetland Shelf, Faroe Shetland Channel, Fladen and Moray Firth Offshore, Hatton, Hebrides Shelf, Long Forties, North Scotland Shelf, North and West Shetland Shelf and Rockall. For the purposes of assessment, the offshore marine regions only extend to the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The original feature can be found on the Scottish National Marine Plan Interactive (NMPi) together with more detailed metadata. The field listing is described below: Name: This is the name of the Scottish Marine region Entitycode: This code is used for geography Entities (levels such as Council Area - S12)* Instanccd: This is instances (areas such as Glasgow City - S12000046)* Originator: The creator of the Scottish Marine region boundary. *More about the Standard Geography Code Register. The currency of this dataset is July 2018 and no future updates are scheduled.本数据集为矢量多边形图层，源自苏格兰海洋局（Marine Scotland），展示了法定苏格兰近岸海洋区域（Scottish Marine Regions，缩写SMRs）与非法定离岸海洋区域（Offshore Marine Regions，缩写OMRs）。上述海洋区域基于其物理特征划定边界。 2011年，共划定11片延伸至12海里的海域，涵盖阿盖尔（Argyll）、克莱德（Clyde）、福斯与特雷（Forth and Tray）、莫里湾（Moray Firth）、北海岸（North Coast）、东北海域（North East）、外赫布里底群岛（Outer Hebrides）、奥克尼群岛（Orkney Islands）、设得兰群岛（Shetland Isles）、索尔威湾（Solway）与西部高地（West Highlands）。 上述SMRs由《2015年苏格兰海洋区域法令》（The Scottish Marine Regions Order 2015）划定，并于2018年纳入标准地理代码登记册。此类区域可用于海洋规划工作。 2019年，另有10片非法定OMRs被确定，用于《苏格兰海洋评估图集2020》（Scottish Marine Assessment atlas 2020，缩写SMA2020）。该类区域包括贝利（Bailey）、东设得兰陆架（East Shetland Shelf）、法罗-设得兰海峡（Faroe Shetland Channel）、弗拉登海盆（Fladen）、莫里湾外海（Moray Firth Offshore）、哈顿（Hatton）、赫布里底陆架（Hebrides Shelf）、朗福蒂（Long Forties）、北苏格兰陆架（North Scotland Shelf）、北设得兰与西设得兰陆架（North and West Shetland Shelf）与罗卡尔滩（Rockall）。 出于评估目的，离岸海洋区域的范围仅限专属经济区（Exclusive Economic Zone，缩写EEZ）。 本数据集的原始要素可在苏格兰国家海洋规划互动平台（Scottish National Marine Plan Interactive，缩写NMPi）查询，同时可获取更详细的元数据。 字段说明如下： 1. 名称（Name）：苏格兰海洋区域的名称 2. 实体代码（Entitycode）：用于地理实体（如议会辖区一级的S12等级）编码的代码* 3. 实例标识（Instanccd）：表示实例（如格拉斯哥市这类区域，对应代码S12000046）* 4. 发起方（Originator）：苏格兰海洋区域边界的创建者* *更多信息可查阅《标准地理代码登记册》。 本数据集的维护截止至2018年7月，暂无后续更新计划。
