The Scottish Government wants your views on the proposed fisheries management measures for Scottish Inshore Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and proposed Priority Marine Features (PMFs). These proposals further contribute to the protection of fish, birds and marine mammals and vulnerable seabed habitats, where they are not already in place.
The proposed measures may restrict some types of fishing activity in selected areas.

These important environments provide homes, nurseries and shelter for marine life, including juvenile commercial fish species.  Please drop by to find out more about the public consultation and the proposed management measures for some of Scotland's marine areas.
