To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will list the Scottish marine regions to be set up.
Answer
It is too early to draw up such a list. The Marine (Scotland) Bill proposes powers for Scottish ministers to create and identify the boundaries of Scottish Marine Regions. We wish to work carefully with key bodies and local stakeholders before bringing forward our proposals.
In Sustainable Seas for all, a consultation on Scotland''s first marine bill, we made clear our intention to consult upon the characteristics upon which the proposed Scottish Marine Regions will be based ahead of proposing secondary legislation.
