STRATEGY MAPS
236. The main elements of the development strategy set out in the preceding two sections are shown on Map 9. The map identifies Scotland's cities, international gateways and the deep water opportunities at Hunterston, Scapa Flow and Nigg. It highlights the key economic development corridors and strategic transport routes which will be important in supporting Scotland's development to 2030. It promotes the need for economic diversification and environmental stewardship in rural areas, draws attention to the great potential for marine energy development around our coasts, and highlights the Government's aspiration to create a sub-sea energy network. It identifies the Clyde Corridor, Central Ayrshire, the Upper Forth, the Inverness - Nairn Corridor and the Pentland Firth as areas where co-ordinated action is needed to support economic development, regeneration and the harnessing of marine energy resources. The national developments which the Government has identified as essential components of the strategy are shown on Map 10.
