Identification

Title

Designated Bathing Waters

Abstract

Beach areas are designated under the Bathing Waters Directive (76/160/EEC) to protect the environment and public health at locations where bathing is not prohibited and is traditionally practised by a large number of bathers. The Directive requires that water quality at all designated bathing waters must meet specific microbiological requirements in order to protect the health of those that bathe there. The waters are designated on the basis of significant use, taking into account varying population densities and visitor numbers. There are currently 86 site designations contained in this dataset.

On-screen digitising using 1:50K landranger as backdrop was used for bathing Waters 1 - 80, following designations were digitised using Ordnance Suvey Mastermap, this was then buffered by 100m offshore.
