Introduction
1. Defining Marine Boundaries for Fish Farming sought views on the Executive's proposals for the designation of marine boundaries in coastal and transitional waters, as defined in the Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Act 2003 ("the WEWS Act"), for marine fish farming development. The paper contained a draft Scottish Statutory Instrument ( SSI) with a Schedule describing the proposed areas the relevant planning authorities would be responsible for as recorded on the map in the CD Rom referred to in the draft SSI; an overview of the methodology used to construct the boundaries; and maps of areas where anomalies to the proposed methodology were identified. It also contained an overview map of Scotland.
2. The consultation paper was issued on 31 October 2005. Responses were requested by 20 January 2006. However, some representations were received after this date and accepted for the purposes of analysis.
