This is a reminder that the pilot Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters Marine Spatial Plan, along with supporting documents, has been developed by a working group consisting of Marine Scotland, Orkney Islands Council and Highland Council and is now out for public consultation until 6 September 2015. It is important that we receive your comments and input regarding these documents so that the working group can take these into account when finalising the Plan.
All the documents and details of how to respond to the consultation can be found on the Scottish Government Consultation Hub:
