Welcome to Marine Scotland Information

Marine Scotland Information is a web portal that provides access to descriptions and information about the Scottish marine environment while providing links to datasets and map resources that are made available by Marine Scotland and Partners.

On the portal, content is grouped into 3 types, and you can use the next tabs to explore the content:

  • Information: Text and background, organised into themes that are aligned with the Scottish Government vision for managing Scotland's Seas.
  • Maps: Spatial data presented as interactive or downloadable map sources. 
  • Data:  Datasets, statistics, downloadable documents, and links to other websites.

This web portal brings together datasets and maps from data.marine.gov.scot and maps.marine.gov.scot to provide context and information on these resources. 

You can of course search across all 3 types of content.

Information on this site is organised by themes. You can select these themes to explore more information on available maps, data and topics.
