This report accompanies the mineral resource map of Scottish Waters and the Central North Sea (Green ''et al'', 2013<ref name="Green 2013">

GREEN, S, CAMPBELL, E, BIDE, T P, and BALSON, P S. 2013. Marine sand and gravel resources of Scottish waters and the central North Sea. British Geological Survey Open Report, OR/13/012. Map at 1:500 000 scale.</ref>). It has been published as part of the research project ''Mineral Resource Assessment of the UK Continental Shelf ''commissioned by The Crown Estate. The map is one of a series that covers the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).
Knowledge of mineral resources is essential for effective and sustainable planning decisions. The marine mineral resource maps provide a comprehensive, relevant and accessible information base. This information will allow all stakeholders (planners, industry and members of the public) to visualise the distribution of offshore minerals to a common standard and at a common scale, an important requirement of an integrated offshore planning system. The maps will also facilitate the conservation (safeguarding) of non-renewable mineral resources for future generations in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.
