Marine Scotland Science

Marine Scotland Science (MSS), the scientific Division of Marine Scotland, plays an integral part in supporting the Scottish Government's vision of marine and coastal environments which are clean, healthy, safe, productive, biologically diverse and are managed to meet the long-term needs of both nature and people. The purpose of science within Marine Scotland is to: provide expert scientific, economic and technical advice and services on issues relating to marine and freshwater fisheries, aquaculture, marine renewable energy, and the aquatic environment and its flora and fauna provide the evidence to support the policies and regulatory activities of the Scottish Government through a programme of monitoring and research perform regulatory and enforcement activities represent the Scottish Government at national and international meetings
