SEASOH launches new interactive tool to explore MPAs of the region

We are excited to launch a new interactive storymap to help you explore the network of Marine Protected Areas in the Outer Hebrides.

From our initial phase of community engagement (see here to learn more about the results) we learned that many people wanted better access to information on Marine Protected Areas in the Outer Hebrides.

Through the storymap you can explore some of the MPAs from the region, learn more about Marine Protected Areas and why we need them and discover the important role marine habitats and species play in our everyday lives.

Along with providing information on Marine Protected Areas we are developing a community virtual story board, where we would like to share what is important to you about the seas around the islands.

Do you have a story that you would like to contribute to the map?

Please get in touch with charlie.main@uhi.ac.uk for more information or to contribute a marine story.
