Monitoring And Reporting

An expert advisory group chaired by the Scottish Government's Chief Scientific Adviser for Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture will oversee the evidence base. This group will devise a programme of monitoring, assessment and reporting to support implementation of the new biodiversity strategy. Building on existing initiatives, and aiming to streamline future reporting, this will ensure the best science and evidence is deployed to improve the state of nature.

We have recently published the Scottish Marine Science Strategy and the Scottish Government is currently consulting on its Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture Draft Research Strategy for 2022-27. The latter includes a proposal to establish a Biodiversity Centre of Expertise.
