Protected Sites - Demonstration and Research Marine Protected Areas (DR MPA)
Demonstration and Research Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are designated by Scottish Ministers under the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010. Sites can be established for the purpose of demonstrating, or carrying out research on sustainable methods of marine management or exploitation in Scottish territorial waters. Their application is not restricted to nature conservation. Proposals will be developed and assessed according to a set of specific guidelines which will examine the scientific case for a MPA, the level of support and the reasons why a MPA is the most appropriate mechanism to use.

- Statement
- Site boundary was proposed by Fair Isle Marine Environment and Tourism Initiative (FIMETI) and originally digitised by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). Custodianship was transferred to Marine Scotland on designation and the shape was transformed to WGS84 using EPSG:1314. The OS MasterMap coastline has been transformed to WGS84 using EPSG:7710 and erased.
