Article 11 The Scottish marine region for the North East

(1)

That part of the Scottish marine area, the boundaries of which are identified in paragraphs (2) to (5), is designated as a Scottish marine region to be known as ‘the Scottish marine region for the North East’.

(2)

It is bounded to the west by the landward limit of the Scottish marine area between—

(a)

the point it meets the line described in paragraph (5)(c)(ii); and

(b)

the point it meets the line described in paragraph (3)(a)(i).

(3)

It is bounded to the north-west by—

(a)

firstly, a line between—

(i)

the point on the mainland of Scotland where a line between the co-ordinates 57°41′14″ north latitude, 02°00′58″ west longitude and 57°41′57″ north latitude, 02°00′09″ west longitude intersects the landward limit of the Scottish marine area; and

(ii)

the co-ordinate 57°41′57″ north latitude, 02°00′09″ west longitude;

(b)

secondly, a line between the co-ordinates 57°41′57″ north latitude, 02°00′09″ west longitude and 57°52′37″ north latitude, 01°55′13″ west longitude, defined by joining sequentially the following co-ordinates—

Co-ordinate	North Latitude	West Longitude
1	57°41′57″	02°00′09″
2	57°42′49″	02°00′11″
3	57°52′37″	01°55′13″

; and

(c)

thirdly, a line of shortest distance between the co-ordinate 57°52′37″ north latitude, 01°55′13″ west longitude and the seaward limit of the Scottish marine area.

(4)

It is bounded to the east by the seaward limit of the Scottish marine area between—

(a)

the point it meets the line described in paragraph (3)(c); and

(b)

the point it meets the line described in paragraph (5)(a).

(5)

It is bounded to the south by—

(a)

firstly, a line of shortest distance between the seaward limit of the Scottish marine area and the co-ordinate 56°44′09″ north latitude, 01°59′07″ west longitude;

(b)

secondly, a line between the co-ordinates 56°44′09″ north latitude, 01°59′07″ west longitude and 56°45′27″ north latitude, 02°25′20″ west longitude, defined by joining sequentially the following co-ordinates—

Co-ordinate	North Latitude	West Longitude
1	56°44′09″	01°59′07″
2	56°44′08″	02°21′14″
3	56°44′41″	02°22′00″
4	56°45′20″	02°24′56″
5	56°45′23″	02°25′02″
6	56°45′27″	02°25′20″

; and

(c)

thirdly, a line between—

(i)

the co-ordinate 56°45′27″ north latitude, 02°25′20″ west longitude; and

(ii)

the point on the mainland of Scotland where a line between the co-ordinates 56°45′27″ north latitude, 02°25′20″ west longitude and 56°45′43″ north latitude, 02°26′21″ west longitude intersects the landward limit of the Scottish marine area.
