Historic Marine Protected Areas (WMS)

Historic Marine Protected Areas ‘Historic MPAs’ are designated under Section 67 of the Marine Scotland Act 2010 to protect marine historic assets (e.g historic shipwrecks) of national importance within Scottish territorial waters.

The Scottish Government is committed to clean, healthy, safe, productive, biologically diverse marine and coastal environments, managed to meet the long-term needs of people and nature. This includes protecting and, where appropriate, enhancing our most important historic wrecks and other marine heritage sites in such a way that they can be valued and understood. One way Scottish Ministers can achieve this is by designating nationally important marine historic assets in Scottish territorial waters as Historic Marine Protected Areas under the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010.

The data shows the boundaries of all Historic Marine Protected Areas in Scotland. You should refer to the Historic Marine Protected Area site documentation for exact locations of individual boundary points and supplementary information.

历史海洋保护区（Historic MPAs）根据2010年苏格兰海洋法案第67条的规定而设立，旨在保护苏格兰领海内具有国家重要性的海洋历史资产（例如历史沉船）。苏格兰政府致力于构建清洁、健康、安全、高效、生物多样性丰富的海洋及海岸环境，以满足人类与自然长期发展的需求。这包括保护并，在适当的情况下，提升我们最重要的历史沉船及其他海洋文化遗产地，以确保其价值得以体现并得到理解。苏格兰部长们可以通过将苏格兰领海内具有重要国家意义的海洋历史资产指定为历史海洋保护区，依据2010年海洋（苏格兰）法案实现上述目标。数据展示了苏格兰所有历史海洋保护区的边界。具体边界点的位置和补充信息，请参考历史海洋保护区站点文档。
