Notification of the publication of updated conservation
advice for Dogger Bank Special Site of Conservation (SAC)
1st February 2018
JNCC have developed a revised approach to the conservation
advice we provide for offshore Marine Protected Areas. The new
approach is based on recommended best practice 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
Dogger Bank SAC via the conservation advice tab of the Site Information Centre.
This supersedes previous conservation advice for this site.
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 which sets out our advice on how human
activities can affect site integrity and therefore achievement of
the site’s conservation objectives.
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 Dogger Bank SAC Conservation
Advice’ in the subject header.
