Recreation and Tourism Survey

August 3, 2015 by Marine Scotland Communications No Comments | Category Marine Directorate general, Marine Planning

Marine Scotland is launching its first national survey of recreation and tourism around the Scottish coast and seas. It covers a vast array of activities and tourism businesses in, on or next to the sea and by telling us who does what and where the survey will help recreation be appropriately recognised in the marine planning process, providing the kind of information we hold for other activities like shipping, off-shore renewables and fish farming. It will also help justify and guide future investment in facilities and infrastructure.

The survey, run by consultancy LUC, aims to provide data to support marine planning and is a partnership between Marine Scotland, Firth of Clyde Forum, Scottish Coastal Forum, The Crown Estate, Visit Scotland, scotland, WHAM, Royal Yachting Association, British Marine (Scotland), Sail Scotland and Scottish Canals.

The survey is online at www.marinerecreationandtourism.scot and will run from 1st August until 31October 2015.
