A html with three interactive maps
The interactive maps show the results of the Scottish Government Marine Directorate analysis to map areas of high risk from introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS) to assist in planning monitoring strategies for NIS.
The maps show the patches of highest risk from introduction and internal spread, those high risk patches within a marine protected area with a benthic feature, and the boundary of that MPA, and patches of highest risk of introduction and internal spread that also have a high risk of establishment by D. vexillum.
The three maps show these layers when all activities that can cause spread of NIS are considered, when only those associated with shipping or recreational boating are considered, and only those associated with aquaculture activities.
The map for shipping and recreational boating also includes a layer on the point location of ports, harbours and marinas.
The map for aquaculture also includes a layer on the point locations of active fish and shellfish farms.
