Protected areas

Information regarding water bodies designated as protected areas.

Information regarding water bodies designated as protected areas. A significant number of the water bodies in Scotland are designated as protected areas. This is because of their importance for special purposes such as wildlife conservation, drinking water supply, shellfish harvesting or bathing. These designated areas are vital to ensure that the diverse ecosystems and cultural and economic benefits contained within them are safeguarded. Protected areas are als

What we don't do

SEPA often receives environmental event notifications for issues for which are the statutory responsibility of other organisations. To help you get to the right place quickly the table below provides a quick guide to a number of issues, together with how you can contact the right organisation.

Air quality

Overview of air quality and how it can be affected by pollutants.

Overview of air quality and how it can be affected by pollutants. We have a direct remit to regulate, control, monitor and act as a consultee on many activities that may influence air quality in Scotland. Under the Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Regulations 2012 we regulate and monitor certain industrial activities in Scotland that can generate airborne pollution, and, under the Environment Act 1995, we work with, and direct where necessary, local a

Overview of regulatory framework

SEPA, as one of a number of organisations regulating finfish aquaculture, is implementing a revised regulatory framework based on that will strengthen the protection of the marine environment for the people of Scotland. The framework follows months of work by colleagues across the agency, a 2017 consultation and two Scottish Parliamentary committees. The evidenced-based features of the regulatory

Environmental monitoring and assessment

Radioactive substances are used routinely in Scotland for medical diagnosis and treatment, research, energy generation and industrial processes. Under the Environmental Authorisations (Scotland) Regulations 2018 (EA(S)R), we regulate these activities including discharges to the environment. We are responsible for ensuring that public radiation doses as a result of authorised radioactive discharges

Forestry

A significant amount of land in Scotland is used for forestry purposes. We are responsible for ensuring that forest developments are designed to consider and, where possible, benefit the environment. We do this by overseeing various types of regulation and producing guidance and advice for those working in or involved with the forestry industry.

Invasive non-native species

What are invasive non-native species? Non-native species (NNS) are plants and animals which have been introduced (accidentally or deliberately) outside of their native range through human activity. Many non-native species contribute positively to our lives, as livestock, crops, timber, garden plants or pets. However, a small proportion (10-15%) of non-native species spread rapidly and cause damage

Modelling

Marine aquaculture modelling Computer modelling is used as a guide to determining licensed discharge quantities of anti-parasitic chemicals and organic waste arising from marine fish-farm operations. The modelling tools promoted by SEPA provide robust predictions in most cases, requiring relatively little site-specific information. Nevertheless, the quality of the model outputs is dependent upon g

Legislative framework

Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA) (‘Part IIA’), which came into force in July 2000, provides the legislative framework for the identification and remediation of contaminated land. The legislation introduced a statutory definition of contaminated land and is aimed at addressing land which has been historically contaminated and which poses unacceptable risks to human health or the wider environment in the context of the current land use.
