Mapping environmental considerations for marine planning

Our series of maps bring together evidence that describes environmental considerations (birds, fish, marine mammals and habitats) for the following sectors:

• aggregates
• aquaculture
• cabling
• floating offshore wind
• tidal range energy
• tidal stream energy
• wave energy

These maps are a spatial tool for marine planners.

View and download the mapping data and read the methodology report to find out:

• how the datasets and maps were produced
• how you can use the maps
• how we will maintain them for future planning
