The Scottish Executive has been negotiating with Westminster to secure what has been called "devolution of the seas" in any future act of parliament. "It is clear from the work of the [advisory group] experts that the forthcoming UK Marine Bill should extend the Scottish Parliament's control out to 200 nautical miles from the coast, so that powers over fishing, planning and nature conservation all sit with Scotland."
Wales must have powers over it's seas as well, at least equivalent to Scotland.
