Flood Defences

Flood Defences Shows information from the Scottish Flood Defence Asset Database (SFDAD) which holds national information on formal flood prevention schemes. Schemes provide a benefit to areas by reducing the likelihood of flooding. This information has been considered in the development of the flood extent, depth and velocity maps. This is not a complete picture of flood defences across Scotland.

Coastal Erosion

Natural Susceptibility to Coastal Erosion Areas likely to be susceptible to coastal erosion based on natural features including the height and geology of the land (relative to sea level), distance to the sea and wave action. This map does not take account of existing flood or coastal erosion protection structures and does not indicate areas that will erode or the timescales over which coastal er

Aquaculture Environment

Information regarding aquaculture and its importance to Scotland's economy.

Information regarding aquaculture and its importance to Scotland's economy. Aquaculture is defined as the rearing of aquatic animals or the cultivation of aquatic plants in both seawater and freshwater for food and can take many forms. In Scotland, aquaculture is dominated by the production of fish – predominantly salmon, trout, cod and halibut, and shellfish such as mussels, oysters and scallops – but there are other important sectors as well. Aquaculture contributes to

Waste

Conserving and protecting the world’s natural resources is vital. For Scotland to become a resilient, resource efficient economy, we must cut waste production, keep materials circulating for as long as possible, prevent the harms from waste management and tackle waste crime. SEPA’s waste to resources framework sets out how we work to deliver these goals, in line with our Sector Planning approach a

Monitoring

We have three categories of monitoring which have different but complementary purposes: surveillance, operational and investigative. This strategy ensures we are collecting the right information in the right place and allows us to concentrate our effort on the greatest risks to the environment.

We have three categories of monitoring which have different but complementary purposes: surveillance, operational and investigative. This strategy ensures we are collecting the right information in the right place and allows us to concentrate our effort on the greatest risks to the environment. We have many years of experience in monitoring and protecting the aquatic environment. In 2007, the Water Framework Directive (WFD) introduced the need for a broader, more holistic approach to monitoring and classifying Scotland’s aquatic environment. Its aim is to use data collected to protect and improve water bodies in order that they meet good ecological status, or similar objective. This moni

Review of Radioactive Waste Adviser scheme

Who is reviewing the scheme? The scheme is being reviewed by the RWA Approval Board that is made up of the four UK environment agencies: the Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales, the Northern Ireland Environment Agency and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, and representatives from the nuclear and non-nuclear industries. Why are we reviewing the scheme? We published the Environment

How we use waste data

Statutory waste data returns, collected and quality assured by SEPA’s Dataflows Unit, are used for the following purposes: Check compliance with the authorisation. Fulfil SEPA’s statutory and non-statutory reporting obligations. Respond to relevant data enquiries and requests for information. Following a waste data consultation which ran from September to October 2019, some additional non-

Long-term river water quality indicator

SEPA publishes a long-term river water quality indicator, based on a network of sites covering 253 water bodies (rivers or sections of rivers). This indicator is based on a consistent set of five water quality parameters which are sensitive to organic pollution, nutrients and toxic substances, and which provide a measure of species diversity across approximately 10% of all water bodies.
