Welcome to Natural England’s Series of Conservation Advice (CA) videos. Natural England has a statutory responsibility to provide conservation advice for all Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) within English territorial waters. MPA designations in these waters are European Marine Sites (EMS) (Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protection Areas) Ramsar Sites and Marine Conservation Zones. MPAs are designated in English territorial waters (0 – 12 nautical miles) to protect features of national and international importance. These features may be habitats, species or geological. Conservation advice is provided to support authorities with a statutory responsibility to manage MPAs to put in place appropriate measures so that favourable condition of each MPA feature is achieved.
This video provides an overview of NE’s approach to setting bird abundance targets.
