Priority Marine Features (PMF)

Priority Marine Features (PMFs) are habitats and species which we consider to be of greatest marine nature conservation importance in Scottish territorial waters. The draft PMF list contains 53 habitats and species and will be used to guide future research and support the advice SNH gives on marine biodiversity.
