Aquatic Classification
There are a number of significant environmental problems caused by a number of pressures, including diffuse and point source pollution, alterations to beds, banks and shores, alterations to water levels and flows and the presence of invasive non-native species. In order to measure these pressures and their potential effects, we use an aquatic classification system which covers rivers, lochs, estuaries, coastal and groundwater bodies. These are split into management units called water bodies, with a classification produced for each body (the number of water bodies between years varies slightly, as some water body boundaries are reviewed to ensure that they can be managed appropriately).

We produce an annual Water Framework Directive (WFD) Classification for all the water bodies in Scotland.
Classification results for 2007 to the current year can be found on the Water Classification Hub.

River Basin Management Planning

An introduction to our river basin planning work.
River basin management planning (RBMP) protects and improves Scotland’s water environment for the benefit of people, wildlife and the economy.
Much of the water environment in Scotland is in good condition. However, there are still significant problems affecting water quality, physical condition, water resources, and the migration of wild fish.

Information regading the Water Environment Fund, including how to apply and the assessment process.
Rivers are a vital part of our landscape and a great asset to Scotland. They provide wildlife corridors, opportunities for recreation and wellbeing and resources for farming, drinking water, beverage production and hydroelectricity.
Like many of our natural resources our rivers are under pressure and in places, damaged. This includes straightened and embanked channels which ar
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.

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
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.

Improving urban waters
Our vision is for towns and cities to use nature-based, blue-green solutions to absorb and safely convey rainwater.
This will:
help strengthen their resilience to the intense downpours they face under climate change
minimise the risk of polluting sewage spills by keeping rainwater out of sewers
create fantastic places for people to live and work

Shellfish water protected areas
Legislation directs SEPA to assess and classify each shellfish protected area. To deliver this we work closely with Food Standards Scotland (FSS). FSS sample, analyse and report water quality in production areas throughout the year to ensure shellfish are safe for consumption, or determine if they require further treatment. At the end of each year FSS provide SEPA with this data who use it to clas
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.

In 2011, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) established an indicator of river water quality based on a network of sites covering 253 water bodies (rivers or sections of rivers), which account for approximately 10% of all water bodies.

Civil sanctions
Fixed Monetary Penalties (FMPSs) and Variable Monetary Penalties (VMPs) for reservoir managers
Since January 2019 SEPA has been able to issue Fixed Monetary Penalties (FMPs) of between £300 and £1,000 to reservoir managers.
In addition, SEPA also has the ability to issue Variable Monetary Penalties (VMPs) of up to £40,000 for majority of offences within the legislation.
All offences that SEPA can
