1. PURPOSE
This consultation provides information on a second set of standards and condition limits for healthy communities of aquatic plants and animals; as well as proposals to update the 2007 Directions to include standards and condition limits consistent with "moderate" and "poor" ecological quality. The proposed standards are based on the latest recommendations from the UK Technical Advisory Group (" UKTAG") to the Scottish Government and the other UK administrations.
Following the completion of this consultation the agreed standards and condition limits will be set out in the form of updated Directions to SEPA made by the Scottish Ministers.
We welcome your comments on any aspect of this paper.
