Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA)

SEPA is a powerful body which is responsible for the protection of the environment in Scotland. Our task is to protect the land, air and water - the core elements that form the fabric of our environment. We will do so in partnership with others, and in a way that enables Scotland to sustain a strong and diverse economy. The environment represents one of Scotland's greatest resources and it must be continually protected and improved if we are to ensure economic prosperity and a vibrant and inclusive society.
