Question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it intends to enhance the protection of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Scotland and if so by what means.
Answer
The "Partnership for Scotland" agreement specified that "we will protect Sites of Special Scientific Interest". We are currently considering the most effective means of doing so in the light of responses to last year's "People and Nature" SSSI consultation paper.
