What we don't do

There are a number of organisations that are responsible for protecting and improving Scotland’s environment and SEPA works in partnership with many of them to ensure that we take a joined-up approach to this work.

The different organisations all have different areas of responsibility so, to assist you, we have put together a basic guide to what each organisation does (see menu on the left). This is not intended as a detailed breakdown of legal duties.

For more information, please contact the relevant organisation. If you want to know more about SEPA's role, contact your local office.
