European Site Conservation Objectives for Tamar Estuaries Complex SPA (UK9010141)

PLEASE NOTE: The marine conservation advice packages on Access to Evidence are not updated regularly. To ensure you are viewing the most up to date version of these packages, please use the Designated Sites System.

These Conservation Objectives are those referred to in the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended from time to time). The accompanying Supplementary Advice provides more detailed advice and information which enables the application and achievement of the Conservation Objectives. The Conservation Objectives and the supporting Supplementary Advice together provide a framework which should inform any ‘Habitats Regulations Assessments’ (which may include an Appropriate Assessment) that a competent authority may be required to make under the legislation referred to above. In addition, they can be used to inform any measures necessary to conserve or restore the European Site and/or to prevent the deterioration or significant disturbance of its qualifying features.

Draft Supplementary Advice to support this SPA’s Conservation Objectives is available as part of the European Marine Site Conservation Advice at gov.uk

This document was part of the formal consultation with owner/occupiers and stakeholders prior to the site’s classification, and now forms part of the entry for this site in the Register of European Sites.
