Notification of the publication of updated conservation
advice for North Norfolk Sandbanks and Saturn Reef
20 December 2017
JNCC have been working on improving the conservation advice we
provide for offshore Marine Protected Areas. The new approach is
based on recommended best practise and feedback from current users.
Further information on the approach is available on the
JNCC Conservation Advice
webpage.
Updated formal conservation advice has now
been published for North Norfolk Sandbanks and Saturn Reef SAC via
the conservation advice tab of the Site Information
Centre. The updated advice comprises:
- background information which explains
why and to whom we are providing this advice;
- conservation objectives for the
site;
- JNCC’s view of the site’s condition, the
conservation benefits it can provide and the conservation measures
which, in our view, are required to ensure the site achieves its
conservation objectives;
- Supplementary Advice on the Conservation
Objectives (SACO); and
- advice on operations capable of
affecting site integrity and therefore achievement of the site’s
conservation objectives and the guidance on how to use
it.
These elements together form JNCC’s
conservation advice for this site and should be read in conjunction
with each other.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss the advice,
please do get in touch using the email address
OffshoreMPAs@jncc.gov.uk and include ‘North Norfolk Sandbanks and
Saturn Reef Conservation Advice’ in the subject header.
