Comments
2. Do you have any further comments? In particular we are seeking views on o o o o o
the drafting of the Order; the co-ordinates establishing the marine region boundaries; the boundaries outlined at paragraph 8 above; the names of the regions suggested; and the illustrative map.
The MBA is generally supportive of the order. The names of the regions should be as useful and clear as possible in all documentation and publicity related to the regions. The regions currently named for their geographical location in Scotland (North Coast, North East, South East and South West) would benefit from more specific names as for the other regions.

No
