Stage 8 - Management scheme. There can only be one statutory
management scheme for each European marine site, but where SPAs
and SACs overlap, the Habitats Regulations allow separate management
schemes to be established for each site. Government guidance states
however, that there will often be practical advantages in establishing
a single management scheme to cover both. In such cases the specific
management measures may vary in different parts of the whole area
according to the respective nature conservation interests (DETR
Guidance para 3.12).
The management scheme for the Severn Estuary European marine site
will provide a management scheme for the SPA, in the context of
the ongoing pSAC and Ramsar issues. It will not at this time specifically
consider the features and sub-features of the Ramsar or pSAC. However,
many of the activities identified as causing deterioration or disturbance
to the SPA features and sub-features, will also be applicable to
the features of the pSAC and Ramsar. This means that where pSAC
and Ramsar features are coincident with the SPA features and sub-features,
they will be protected by management prescriptions contained within
the management scheme. Should the SAC be submitted to the European
Commission as a cSAC at some point in the future, ASERA will have
to decide on how to best address the management of additional nature
conservation features and sub-features within this designation.
In addition, ASERA will have to decide on how best to address the
management of additional nature conservation features and sub-features
of the Ramsar designation.
