Special Areas of Conservation  

All the Special Areas of Conservation across Europe (terrestrial and marine) are networked together along with Special Protection Areas to form the Natura 2000 series.Click here for information on Natura 2000 This includes a representative sample of all habitats and species of Community interest.

A total of 340 candidate SACs have been forwarded to date from the UK; 42 of these are marine.

Click here for information on the UK Marine SAC's ProjectThe UK Marine SACs Project has been set up to develop individual management schemes for 12 of the candidate marine SACs in the UK. The project, aided by LIFE funding, aims to collate and improve knowledge on the management of marine SACs around Europe.

Note: The moderation process in 2000 brought about many changes for SACs in the UK.
