Abstract
The demand for use of the marine environment and coastal
areas has never been greater. With ambitious targets for the
development of marine renewable energy, marine protected
areas and interactive marine activities, marine planning
has risen to the top of the policy agenda. As the Scottish
Government progresses national and regional marine planning
under the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010, accessing information
about how Scotland’s marine space is used is imperative. This
is particularly important for coastal stakeholders who operate
at regional or local scales where data are poorly spatially
resolved.
