Details

Future coastal defence-policies and ‘fnatural” processes will have an impact on habitats within Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Areas (SPA) and Ramsar sites. An overview of the potential nature and extent of these changes (losses or gains) is needed to inform policy decisions on the legal and funding aspects of coastal defence options and possible habitat replacement, within the context of the Habitats Directive.
