Sound of Arisaig (Loch Ailort to Loch Ceann Traigh) Sac Conservation and Management Advice SOUND OF ARISAIG (LOCH AILORT TO LOCH CEANN TRAIGH) SAC MARCH 2021 This document provides advice to Public Authorities and stakeholders about the activities that may affect the protected features of Sound of Arisaig Special Area of Conservation (SAC). It provides advice from Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) (operating under the name of and hereinafter referred to as NatureScot) under Regulation 33(2) of the Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c.) Regulations 1994 (as amended in Scotland) to other relevant authorities about any activities/operations which may cause deterioration of the habitats or species, or disturbance of species protected in the SAC, and the Conservation Objectives for the site. It covers a range of different activities and developments but is not exhaustive. It focuses on where there is a risk to achieving the Conservation Objectives. The paper does not attempt to cover all possible future activities or eventualities (e.g. as a result of accidents), and does not consider cumulative effects. Further information on marine protected areas and management is available at - https://www.gov.scot/policies/marine-environment/marine-protected-areas/ For the full range of MPA site documents and more on the fascinating range of marine life to be found in Scotland’s seas, please visit - www.nature.scot/mpas or https://jncc.gov.uk/advice/marine-protected-areas/ Document version control Version Date Author Reason / Comments 1 01/08/2018 Laura Steel 1st draft. 2 09/03/2020 Sarah Review and edit.

GLOSSARY FOR CONSERVATION OBJECTIVES ......................................... 28 REFERENCES ................................................................................................................... 30 3 1 Overview of document This document provides details of the conservation and management advice for Sound of Arisaig Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and it is divided into eight main sections. The introduction in section 2 gives an overview of Sound of Arisaig SAC and its contribution in terms of conservation and wider benefits. Section 3 provides an overview of the roles of the various bodies involved with advising, regulating and managing the marine protected area. Section 4 describes the protected features and their condition, and section 5 introduces the Conservation Objectives for the site. Section 6 describes the threats and pressures to which the protected features are sensitive, and section 7 provides the management advice for these activities. Section 8 identifies what further research and surveys may be required to increase our understanding of how the protected features utilise the site for which they are designated. Throughout this document the term Special Area of Conservation (SAC) is used in relation to the site name, e.g. Arisaig SAC or in discussion of the specific legislation relating to the site. Otherwise the term Marine Protected Area (MPA) is used when discussing the site or the MPA network generally. The term qualifying features is used in the Conservation Objectives (Annex 1) to refer to habitats and species that the Arisaig SAC has specifically been designated to protect. Within the wider document text, the term protected features is used to refer both to these specific site features and more generally to species or habitats protected through MPA designations. 2 Introduction 2.1 Purpose statement Sound of Arisaig SAC has been designated to protect subtidal sandbanks. By doing so it contributes to the Scottish, UK and OSPAR MPA networks, the conservation of the wider marine environment around Scotland, and progress towards Good Environmental Status within the North-East Atlantic marine region. The main purpose of Sound of Arisaig SAC is to help restore subtidal sandbanks in favourable conservation status in the Atlantic Biogeographic Region. 2.2 Conservation benefits Sound of Arisaig SAC provides conservation benefits by affording protection to subtidal sandbanks and their associated species. In summary the conservation benefits of this designation are: The protection of the subtidal sandbanks which have an unusually high diversity of representative sublittoral sediment habitats within a relatively small area. The protection of extensive maerl beds and seagrass beds, both of which are OSPAR threatened and declining habitats that harbour rich associated communities and can be important nursery grounds for fish and shellfish. 2.3 Wider benefits Sound of Arisaig’s subtidal sandbanks provide ecosystem services locally and to the wider marine ecosystem. We describe these ecosystem services in terms of their functions (the support or provision of something to the wider ecosystem e.g. habitat, nutrient cycling, sediment stabilisation) and natural resources (e.g. fish and shellfish, aggregates, wildlife), which in turn lead to benefits for people. 4 Figure 1 illustrates how the protected feature of Sound of Arisaig SAC contribute to benefits for people. The functions associated with the subtidal sandbanks of Sound of Arisaig SAC are described in Annex 1, Table 2b as part of the site’s Conservation Objectives. This outlines how the protected feature contributes to the functions described. The feature, especially when taken within the context of the whole MPA and/or local ecosystem, contributes to certain functions more than others, e.g. the formation of a physical barrier and supporting connectivity. The functions of the protected feature are fundamental to the continued supply of natural resources and benefits associated with this MPA, and to the long-term health of the protected features. Sound of Arisaig SAC contains diverse marine habitats that support a variety of natural resources. The fish and shellfish (including juveniles), and seaweeds living within the MPA that can be harvested by humans or utilised by other marine species, are the most obvious resource. The MPA supports wildlife including bird and mammal species. The sandbanks of the Sound of Arisaig also supply sandy sediment to the beaches of the area that are important for recreational enjoyment and local tourism. The Sound of Arisaig SAC is an area that benefits people locally via fishing and shellfish gathering. It is provides a location where people can engage in outside pursuits for health and wellbeing e.g. sailing and walking,

Most of his prefacerecorded history has been derived Rev. Robert Forbes’s manuscripts called – “The Lyon In Mourning” Noni Brown Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Last updated Wednesday, September 11, 2013 PREFACE Before 1788, Australia was populated by at least 300,000 aborigines. (A guess as no one could have known actual figures). These nomadic people had inhabited the world's oldest continent for more than 10,000 years. They had seen very few Europeans, but two events were to play an important part in changing their way of life forever. Captain James Cook discovered the east coast of New Holland in 1770 and named it New South Wales. He sailed the whole of the coast and reported to the British government that he thought it would make a good place for a settlement. Britain did not recognise the country as being inhabited as the natives did not cultivate the land, and were in the eyes of the British, "uncivilized". The agrarian revolution in Britain, and the population explosion in the cities, resulted in an increase in crime. As the American Revolution meant that no more convicts could be sent there, the only way to overcome the overcrowding in the jails in Britian was to establish a penal colony in the land discovered by Captain James Cook.

  • Complete Accessible Lochaber Guide
    ACCESSIBLE LOCHABER Aguide toLochaber PRODUCEDBYLOCHABERDISABILITYACCESSPANEL The first edition of Accessible Lochaber was published in 2002 following several years of survey work by fieldworkers and volunteers from the Access Panel. This was a substantial and thoroughly researched body of work and it has formed the basis for this updated, enlarged and revised 2007 version. The original edition is now out of print. This revised edition benefits from five years of user feedback and has a re-arranged and more user- friendly layout, it embraces modern technology by including websites where available, and has been expanded to take in the Small Isles and Knoydart. The re-survey and text-updating work, undertaken by Kath Johnston and Edythe Knowles, has taken 14 months to produce and, as it will be stored electronically and be available on the web, should be relatively easy to keep up to date. Residents and visitors to any particular part of Lochaber need only download the pages from the Guide that refer to that particular area. The information in the Guide should be read in conjunction with Visit Scotland’s accommodation guides. We have tried to ensure that the information is correct and up to date (May 2007) but we would be grateful to hear from you if you find any errors or omissions. It is also advisable to check with the particular establishment. Again, Chris Ingham has produced the symbols, which we hope do not need any explanation. Dr Su Sen and Hugh Muir, my predecessors as chairmen of the Panel, provided the wisdom, inspiration and support to update and revise the Guide.
