Summary

The following archived spreadsheet holds information on all offshore Marine Protected Areas in the UK (beyond 12 nautical miles from baseline). These include Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs), Nature Conservation Marine Protected Areas (NCMPAs) and Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) with marine components and Special Protection Areas (SPAs) with marine components. This includes sites that cross the inshore/offshore waters (territorial seas) boundary. It also includes the update to the status of five offshore sites designated as full SACs. This version also follows the UK's submission of revised Natura2000 Standard Data Forms to the European Commission in Dec 15. Following the designation of Tranche 2 MCZ on 18/01/2016, sites listed as proposed were updated to designated.

Data includes: Site code, Site name, Site status, Country, CP2 Region, Feature type (broad), Feature type (specific), Marine features protected, Common name and Population type.
