Abstract

This document sets out the process undertaken by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) for the formal consultation on the three possible Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) – Croker Carbonate Slabs, Pisces Reef Complex, and Wight-Barfleur Reef. A total of 15 responses to the consultation were received. This report summarises the purpose of the consultation, how it was carried out, how the responses were analysed, what the nature of the responses was by sector, and the key messages arising from it.
