"I would like to request, under FOI/EIRs, a copy of the 2016 document entitled "Simple guide to fisheries management measures in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)". This page references it: https://www.gov.scot/publications/scottish-marine-protected-areas-mpa- monitoring-strategy-supporting-annexes-1-6/pages/2/ It says: Available from http://www.gov.scot/Resource/0049/00493862.pdf.”

Response

I have now completed my review of our failure to respond to your request under the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (EIRs) for:

"I would like to request, under FOI/EIRs, a copy of the 2016 document entitled "Simple guide to fisheries management measures in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)". This page references it: https://www.gov.scot/publications/scottish-marine-protected-areas-mpa- monitoring-strategy-supporting-annexes-1-6/pages/2/ It says: Available from http://www.gov.scot/Resource/0049/00493862.pdf.”

In accordance with regulation 16(3)(b) of the EIRs, I have also reached a decision on your request.

I apologise for the delay in providing a response to your request. This was due to an issue with the monitoring of a shared mailbox, and we are reviewing processes to ensure this is not repeated in future.

I can now provide our response to your original request. I enclose a copy of all of the information you requested as an attachment to this email. I am in the process of reviewing the link on the original webpage to get this updated.
