Original consultation

Summary

Natural England is seeking views on the proposal to designate a marine site as a potential Special Protection Area (pSPA).

This consultation ran from
9am on 21 January 2016 to 5pm on 21 April 2016

Consultation description

Special Protection Areas (SPAs) are special sites designated under the EU Birds Directive to protect rare, vulnerable and migratory birds.

The proposal for Northumberland Marine is to:

• create a new SPA to support internationally important bird populations detailed in the consultation documents
• add features to 3 existing terrestrial SPAs:
  • Coquet Island
  • Farne Islands
  • Northumbria Coast

This area is particularly important to these birds as much of the sea around their breeding colonies is the ideal feeding habitat.

The proposal is available as a series of separate documents (attached above). You should:

• read the consultation summary that sets out the aims of the proposal
• read the departmental briefs that provide the scientific explanation behind the proposal
• use the maps to locate the proposal site(s)
