Abstract

The documents here form JNCC’s formal conservation advice for the East of Haig Fras 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 January 2021), 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.
  • Advice on Operations – provides information on the activities capable of affecting site integrity and therefore achievement of the site’s conservation objectives.

The East of Haig Fras MPA Site Information Centre is the most up-to-date source of information for this site.

The conservation advice package was updated to version 2.0 in January 2021, as new features were added in the third tranche of Marine Conservation Zones.
