About NAR:DP

The purpose of the Natural Asset Register: Data Portal (NAR:DP) is to provide open access, to all individuals and organisations, to research outputs (spatial data) that are related to Scotland’s natural assets. These spatial research datasets are produced by researchers in six Scottish Environment, Food and Agricultural Research Institutes (SEFARI) [https://sefari.scot/]. A report on the creation of this tool is available at [https://www.hutton.ac.uk/sites/default/files/files/research/srp2016-21/rd141/RD141_NAR-DP_ProjectDescription_final.pdf].
