- ACTION PLAN-
All the habitats in the parish are considered for action apart from those which are found only within Pagham Harbour Local Nature Reserve, such as saltmarsh. The plan concentrates on areas which are not designated for wildlife protection, however actions relating to SSSIs and SNCIs are proposed where these lie outside the Nature Reserve. The plan must be viewed as essentially developmental in that alterations will be made and new sections added as further Sussex habitat action plans and relevant species plans are published [see FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS], and as priorities change due to unforeseen events. - Description of Contents- Each habitat is considered using the following headings: 1. Habitat Definition- - This is only given when needed. 2. Current Status and Distribution - 3. Importance- - A general explanation of its wildlife value is given. 4. Local Significance- - Here the importance of the habitat for people, past and present, is explored alongside a description of how the habitat has changed over time [this section requires far greater research and a survey of present opinion - see AWARENESS and INVOLVEMENT - so must be considered as incomplete at present]. 5. Threats- - Emphasis is placed upon known local threats. 6. Objectives 7. Actions- - Appendix I gives a list of all actions proposed. Those that are already underway are indicated with an asterisk. - Specific targets for the parish have not been set but reference is made to the Sussex targets the actions contribute towards, where appropriate.
8. Further Possibilities - This section is included so that ideas are not forgotten. |
