Title

Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters Marine Spatial Plan. A proposed approach for a MSP framework and regional locational guidance for marine renewable energy

Abstract

The following document sets out the proposed approach to be taken for the preparation of: A Framework for a Marine Spatial Plan (MSP) for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters, and Regional Locational Guidance (RLG) for marine renewable energy developments (wave and tidal stream) for the same area. The aim of the document is to consult and seek feedback on the suggested approach. Descriptions MSP Framework and RLG The MSP Framework and RLG which will be completed by January 2010, represent the first step towards preparing a statutory Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters. They are being prepared to assist stakeholders, developers and decision makers in responding to the rapid increase in interest in developing marine renewable energy in the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters.
