Mapping areas likely to be unsuitable for native oyster (Ostrea edulis) restoration - interactive maps

A html with two interactive maps and descriptive text.
The interactive maps show the areas that are considered unsuitable for native oyster restoration due to temperature, silt content of the sediment, depth and current speed for the whole of Scotland and for the Orkney region.
Each environmental layer can be turned on and off individually. On the Scotland map it is possible to adjust the opacity of the layers.
