custodian mapDigital SPAs in Scotland are classified by Scottish Ministers . These are areas of the most important habitat for rare (listed on Annex I to the Directive) and regularly occurring migratory birds within the European Union. SPAs are classified under the EC Birds Directive and together with SACs, form the Natura 2000 network. Proposed Special Protection Areas (pSPA) may be subject to change prior to classification. continual GB-SCT place Nature conservation theme Downloadable Data copyright otherRestrictions copyright otherRestrictions Available under an OS Open Data licence www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/opendata/licence, Note that this data is available to view or download on SNH website see: www.snh.gov.uk/publications-data-and-research/snhi-information-service You must always use the following attribution statement to acknowledge the source of the information: (Copyright Scottish Natural Heritage) Contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database right (year) no conditions apply to access and use vector 5 eng utf8 environment Microsoft Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601) Service Pack 1; ESRI ArcGIS 10.0.5.4400 true -28.171997 15.227695 45.501382 65.171944 SDE Feature Class Gabor Barton Scottish Natural Heritage Geographic Information Officer 01463 725000

These obligations are implemented through domestic legislation in the Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c.) Regulations 1994, as amended. Designating Authority In Scotland Scottish Ministers Role of SNH SNH acts as the advisor to Government in proposing selected sites for Ministerial approval as proposed SPAs. SNH then undertakes consultation over proposed sites with owners, occupiers, planning authorities and other interested parties on behalf of Scottish Ministers. Legislative Context Article 4 of the EC Directive on the Conservation of Wild Birds 1979 (EC/79/409, as amended 30.8.85 and 8.5.91): commonly known as the Birds Directive. In GB the designation is generally underpinned through the SSSI mechanism for terrestrial sites; the Government is proposing new provisions for marine SPAs.
