Scotland’s environment web, managed by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), is delivering a shared hub for environmental information and data. It is a web platform that aims to be the trusted gateway to everything you want to know about Scotland’s environment.

Search, discover, and view spatial environmental data, features, and sites of interest from many different sources, on useful applications that can help you make informed decisions.

You can use Scotland's environment map to search and discover spatial data published by its partner organisations. View data individually or in any combination that you choose and share your data view. Search by postcode, grid reference, location or use the geolocate function to explore data within your current location. 

 

A collaboration between partners

Working in partnership is at the very heart of Scotland’s environment web. With contributions from some of Scotland’s leading organisations that look to protect and improve the environment, the website presents information in a way that makes it easy for people to find what they’re looking for.

Scotland’s environment web partnership aims to provide:

  • Shared knowledge – multiple data applications drawing on the most up-to-date openly published data.
  • An evidence base that draws on multiple sources of information, to inform policy development, operational assessments, and decisions.
  • A user/customer focused approach to digital services.
  • Accessibility to information and data by those that need it, when they need it.
  • A network of interconnected websites that provide trusted and authoritative information.
  • Economy and efficiency – accomplishing more jointly than we can individually, enhancing capability while avoiding duplication of effort.
  • Collaboration through shared resources and expertise to develop solutions to common challenges.
