To help target nature conservation action under each of these three pillars, Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) have generated a focused list of habitats and species of importance in Scottish waters - the Priority Marine Features (PMFs - see http://www.snh.gov.uk/protecting-scotlands-nature/safeguarding-biodiversity/priority-marine-features/).
A subset of these features will drive the selection of Nature Conservation MPAs (MPA search features - see http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Resource/Doc/295194/0114024.pdf). A series of recent research projects have pulled together available data on the distribution of these features in Scottish waters, but further work is required to access or refine other significant datasets to fill known gaps (data mining). Existing historical data will also be supplemented through new marine survey (biological and geophysical) delivered via scheduled research cruises wherever practicable, but also through targeted commissions. The programme of new survey work will be undertaken alongside routine condition monitoring of existing protected areas (primarily Special Areas of Conservation - SACs; and Sites of Special Scientific Interest - SSSIs).
SNH and JNCC wish to develop a Procurement Framework to facilitate the delivery of the full range of marine survey and data mining initiatives under a series of discrete ‘lots’ or work packages.71354500, 98361000, 73112000, 72316000, 71351210, 73210000, 90712300, 34930000, 72314000, 71353100, 71354400, 71351200, 73111000, 63726800
