5. Following on from this pilot, six new Inshore Fisheries Groups ( IFGs) will cover all of the Scottish coast (except Shetland which has its own management arrangements).

6. Subsequent action would be undertaken by regulation, any SEA would be done at that stage

7. ecological status under WFD 0-3 nm; environmental status under MSFD beyond 3 nm

8. includes ecological/environmental status, and marine geology, sediment and coastal processes (see Table 5)

9. For example, four public meetings were held in 2011 to consult on measures proposed for inclusion in the Outer Hebrides Management Plan (page 16).

10. This information has been taken from Scottish Sea Fisheries Statistics 2011.

11. Scottish Sea Fisheries Statistics 2011 identifies active vessels as those which are both registered and licensed as of 31st December of the year of reference.
