Data, Marine Atlas & Marine Scotland Interactive

Marine Scotland gathers and uses a wide range of data and information as part of its work.

Scotland’s Marine Atlas was published in 2011 and the data sets that were used to inform that Atlas are now being updated and added to National Marine Plan interactive (NMPi). Marine Scotland Interactive (MSi) complements the Atlas and NMPi by presenting different data in various formats, such as images and video. To find out more about the Atlas, NMPi and MSi, please use the links below.
