Marine Nature Conservation Review: Sector 5. South-east Scotland and north-east England: Area summaries 1998

Abstract

The Marine Nature Conservation Review (MNCR) began in 1987. Its aim was to provide information describing the marine habitats, communities and species around Great Britain. This was collected in such a way as to underpin the development of management systems for marine nature conservation and to support the identification of marine protected areas.

This volume (MNCR Sector 5) covers the results of studies of the coast from North Berwick in Lothian (south-east Scotland) to Flamborough Head in the East Riding of Yorkshire (north-east England). The studies included field surveys of the shores and nearshore subtidal zone to describe the marine habitats and communities (together referred to as biotopes) and to assess their marine natural heritage importance. Comparable data from other organisations have been added to provide information on over 1,000 sites within the region and analysed to classify the biotopes present. Information on the designated conservation sites and main human activities in the region has also been compiled.

Please note that this resource has been produced from a scan of an original document. You may therefore experience fluctuations in quality and large file sizes.

Due to the file size of the volume, it is divided into the following parts:

  • Part 1: Prelims, Introduction & Area summaries 1 (Bass Rock) to 10 (Holy Island (north and east) and the Fame Islands).
  • Part 2: Area summaries 11 (Bamburgh to Alnmouth) to 20 (Tees Bay)
  • Part 3: Area summaries 21 (Tees estuary) to 24 (Flamborough Head) and Appendices A, B & C.
