Solent Habitat Information Pack

This pack will be of use to coastal planners in developing their local planning documents, coastal engineers and related stakeholders in developing coastal defence plans and strategies, and coastal managers, rangers and other interested parties.

These are A4 sheets on each of the habitats found in the Solent giving background information on the habitat, a summary of where they can be found, the main threats which will effect them and opportunities for enhancing the habitat.
