Assessment of effects of translocation of Eurasian beaver to the Great Glen - River Ness and River Lochy catchments
Introduction
In Scotland, public bodies and private companies operating in a public character, such as utility companies, are required to assess, consult on, and monitor the likely impacts their plans, programmes and strategies will have on the environment. This process is known as Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and the legislation is known as the Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005.

As the responsible authority, NatureScot completed a screen report on the effects of Eurasian beaver translocation to the Great Glen – River Ness and River Lochy catchments and sought comments from statutory consultees, who concurred with our findings.
