Forestry

A significant amount of land in Scotland is used for forestry purposes. We are responsible for ensuring that forest developments are designed to consider and, where possible, benefit the environment. We do this by overseeing various types of regulation and producing guidance and advice for those working in or involved with the forestry industry.

FAQs on Sea Lice Regulatory Framework Implementation

Why is a sea lice framework needed? Populations of wild Atlantic salmon have been in serious decline in recent decades and are now at crisis point. The pattern of decline is repeated across the salmon’s North Atlantic range and is likely caused, at least in part, by the effect of climate change on the survival of salmon during their time at sea. To build resilience of Scotland’s salmon populations

Modelling

Marine aquaculture modelling Computer modelling is used as a guide to determining licensed discharge quantities of anti-parasitic chemicals and organic waste arising from marine fish-farm operations. The modelling tools promoted by SEPA provide robust predictions in most cases, requiring relatively little site-specific information. Nevertheless, the quality of the model outputs is dependent upon g
