JNCC, Peterborough, ISSN 2051- 6711. Summary This report presents the findings from analyses of the acoustic data and groundtruth samples gathered during the seabed survey of the Turbot Bank possible Marine Protected Area (pMPA). Turbot Bank lies within a coarse sandy sediment plain to the east of Scotland, approximately 65km east of Peterhead on the Aberdeenshire coast, south of the Fladen Ground, and comprises a shelf bank and mound feature. The report describes the presence, location and extent of broadscale habitats, biotopes and Scottish Marine Protected Area (SMPA) Priority Marine Features within the Turbot Bank pMPA. Full coverage multibeam echosounder data (bathymetry and backscatter) collected under the Civil Hydrography Programme were available for the western half of Turbot Bank pMPA. During a dedicated survey in December 2012, new acoustic data were collected in the eastern part of the bank.

  • Connectivity Among Marine Protected Areas, Particularly Valuable and Vulnerable Areas in the Greater North Sea and Celtic Seas Regions 2
    Connectivity among marine protected areas, particularly valuable and vulnerable areas in the greater North Sea and Celtic Seas regions 2 Introduction to the connectivity study The NorthSEE project is focusing on transnational coordination between plans and planning processes in the North Sea Region on three main topics: Energy, Shipping and Environment. For the environmental strand the partners have been researching the designation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and other marine conservation measures, as well as the application of the Ecosystem Based Approach (EBA) in the planning processes. This report is part of WP3 environment and deals with the connectivity of MPAs in the North Sea. The reasons for this is that the North Sea ecosystem is interlinked and does not respect land borders. In MSP, it is important to understand the way in which a marine conservation site is relevant to areas elsewhere, and what significance different sites may have for the ecosystem as a whole. Another incentive for analyzing the ecological coherence, is that the OSPAR Recommendation 2003/31, amended by OSPAR Recommendation 2010/2, on a network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) sets out the goal of OSPAR Contracting Parties (CPs) to continue the establishment of the OSPAR Network of MPAs in the North-East Atlantic. In the status report of 2016, OSPAR identified the need to using case-studies of connectivity to illustrate how the use of life-history traits information in combination with oceanographic modelling products can improve confidence in MPA network connectivity assessments. This study meets the need described by OSPAR. In order to have a better understanding of ecological relationships and conditions, the connectivity between all marine protected areas (MPAs) and particularly valuable and vulnerable areas (as part of the Norwegian Management Plans), have been analyzed.

Cold stages after 2.7 Ma brought mountain ice caps and lowland permafrost, but larger ice sheets were short-lived. The late Early and Middle Pleistocene sedimentary record found offshore indicates more than 10 advances of ice sheets from Scotland into the North Sea but only 4-5 advances have been identified from the terrestrial stratigraphy.

  • The Scottish Fishing Industry
    Inquiry into The Future of the Scottish Fishing Industry March 2004 Financial support for the RSE Inquiry into The Future of the Scottish Fishing Industry Aberdeenshire Council Scottish Enterprise Grampian Aberdeen City Council Shell U.K. Exploration and Production Clydesdale Bank Shetland Islands Council J Sainsbury plc Western Isles Council Highlands and Islands Enterprise Our visits were also facilitated by local authorities and other bodies in the fishing areas where we held meetings. The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) is Scotland’s National Academy. Born out of the intellectual ferment of the Scottish Enlightenment, the RSE was founded in 1783 by Royal Charter for the “advancement of learning and useful knowledge”. As a wholly independent, non-party-political body with charitable status, the RSE is a forum for informed debate on issues of national and international importance and draws upon the expertise of its multidisciplinary Fellowship of men and women of international standing, to provide independent, expert advice to key decision-making bodies, including Government and Parliament. The multidisciplinary membership of the RSE makes it distinct amongst learned Societies in Great Britain and its peer-elected Fellowship encompasses excellence in the Sciences, Arts, Humanities, the Professions, Industry and Commerce. The Royal Society of Edinburgh is committed to the future of Scotland’s social, economic and cultural well-being. RSE Inquiry into The Future of the Scottish Fishing Industry i Foreword The fishing industry is of much greater social, economic and cultural importance to Scotland than to the rest of the UK. Scotland has just under 8.6 percent of the UK population but lands at its ports over 60 percent of the total UK catch of fish.
