Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) shellfish water protected areas in England
Summary
This dataset contains the Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (England and Wales) Regulations 2017 shellfish water protected area designations in England. These are waters designated by the Secretary of State as protected areas under the Water Framework Regulations in order to protect or develop economically significant shellfish production. The polygons are based on Ordnance Survey tidal water open data as source base data with boundary extents as originally described in the schedule to the Shellfish Waters (England) Notice 2011 (from the (now repealed) Surface Waters (Shellfish) (Classifications) Regulations 1997). Agreed changes to shellfish water protected area designations made subsequently, including the most recent review which was undertaken arising from the 2015 Designation Review for the updated River Basin Management Plans, have also been incorporated.

Lineage
The polygons were created using the mean high water boundary (OS_tidal_water shapefile) from the Ordnance Survey OS Terrain 50 open data dataset (downloaded November 2016) as source base data with boundary extents as originally described in the schedule to the Shellfish Waters (England) Notice 2011 (from the (now repealed) Surface Waters (Shellfish) (Classifications) Regulations 1997 Waters Directive). Agreed changes to shellfish water protected area designations (2015 Designation Review) were also incorporated. The resulting polygons underwent a quality assurance exercise and minor amendments were made using aerial photography from the Environment Agency archives captured during surveys.
