Details of each Management Unit (MU) are provided, including boundaries and estimated abundance figures. The MUs provide an indication of the spatial scales at which impacts of plans and projects alone, cumulatively and in-combination, need to be assessed for the key cetacean species in UK waters, with consistency across the UK.
