Scottish Salmon Disease Management Areas (Shapefile)

Shapefile (.shp format) consisting of polygons showing approximate perimeters of "Disease Management Areas". These areas were defined by the Joint Government/Industry Working Group on Infectious Salmon Anaemia in 2000, "based on separation distances around active farms, taking into account tidal excursions and other epidemiological risk factors. Farms with overlapping separation distances will usually be within the same disease management area." Outlines are based on PDF maps provided by the Scottish Government. www2.gov.scot/Topics/marine/Fish-Shellfish/FHI/managementagreementhttps://www2.gov.scot/Uploads/Documents/JGIWGReport.pdf The files use the projected coordinate system EPSG:27700: OSGB 1936 / British National Grid (United Kingdom Ordnance Survey).
