The Norwegian Boundary Sediment Plain is a
Marine Protected Area (MPA) lying to the northeast of Scotland
. The MPA, which covers 164 km2 (63 sq mi),
lies at the very edge of ocean quahogs. The latter, which are large and slow growing clams, have a lifespan of more than 400 years and are thus considered to be amongst the oldest living animals on Earth.[3]
