Trial areas are derived from the recognised ICES statistical subrectangles (ninth of a standard statistical rectangle). Subrectangles were clipped to mean low water spring (MLWS) with adjustments agreed with Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) to reduce potential impacts on MPA network sites or priority marine features. MLWS was transformed to WGS84 using transformation EPSG:1314.
