Hatton-Rockall Basin MPA – Conservation Advice 2018

Abstract

The documents here form JNCC’s formal conservation advice for the Hatton-Rockall Basin MPA and should be read in conjunction with each other. This advice reflects the most up-to-date evidence held by JNCC (correct as of March 2018), and consists of:

  • Background Information – explains the purpose of the conservation advice and when it must be referred to.
  • Conservation Objectives – sets out the broad ecological aims for the site.
  • Supplementary Advice on the Conservation Objectives (SACO) – provides supplementary advice, which is essential reading to support interpretation of the conservation objectives.
  • Conservation Advice Statements – these statements provide a summary of the SACO, and cover: Site condition; Conservation benefits; Conservation measures.

Please note:

  • These documents were produced prior to the launch of JNCC's new website (in July 2019). Whilst every effort has been made to redirect material to the relevant content on the new website, some of the links within these documents may no longer work.
  • The Conservation Advice Statements document (Version 1.0) was republished in December 2020, following a minor amendment to some of the generic text; none of the text relating to the site or its features has changed.

The Hatton-Rockall Basin MPA Site Information Centre is the most up-to-date source of information for this site.
