Historic Marine Protected Areas Historic MPAs are designated under Section 67 of the Marine Scotland Act 2010 to protect marine historic assets (e.g historic shipwrecks) of national importance within Scottish territorial waters. The Historic_Marine_Protected Area dataset comprises the boundaries of all Historic Marine Protected Areas in Scotland. The purpose of this dataset is to allow the user to identify the boundaries of Historic Marine Protected Areas in Scotland. The user should refer to the Historic Marine Protected Area Order documentation for exact locations of individual boundary points and supplementary information. The Scottish Government is committed to clean, healthy, safe, productive, biologically diverse marine and coastal environments, managed to meet the long-term needs of people and nature. This includes protecting and, where appropriate, enhancing our most important historic wrecks and other marine heritage sites in such a way that they can be valued and understood. One way Scottish Ministers can achieve this is by designating nationally important marine historic assets in Scottish territorial waters as Historic Marine Protected Areas under the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010.

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Customised boundary created by Historic Environment Scotland's Scheduled Monument, Battlefield and Marine Team. These positions were obtained by surveys from various sources including amateur divers and archaeologists who discovered the wrecks, and by marine archaeological surveys commissioned by the UK and, following transfer or responsibilities to Historic Scotland (HS) around 1991, by HS. Government-commissioned surveys were carried out from 1986-2003 by the Archaeological Diving Unit (University of St Andrews) and from 2003 to 2013 by Wessex Archaeology. A variety of position-fixing equipment will have been used to generate the positions, most recently differential GPS equipment. Reports of this work have been archived with National Record of the Historic Environment. |
