These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for.

The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information.

This aims to align this BAP with the Sussex Biodiversity Action Plan. The document also demonstrates the Board’s commitment to fulfilling its duty as a public body under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 to conserve biodiversity. Many of the Board’s activities have benefits and opportunities for biodiversity, not least its water level management and ditch maintenance work. It is hoped that this Biodiversity Action Plan will help the Board to maximise the biodiversity benefits from its activities and demonstrate its contribution to the Government’s UK Biodiversity Action Plan targets as part of the Biodiversity 2020 strategy. The Board has adopted the Biodiversity Action Plan as one of its policies and subject to available resources is committed to its implementation. It will review the plan periodically and update it as appropriate. Bill Gower Chairman of the Board PEVENSEY AND CUCKMERE WLMB – BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN CONTENTS ABBREVIATIONS & ACRONYMS 1 1

  • Sea Defence Scheme Pevensey Environment Agency Battles With
    - Soo Mje.rn -o y( ft* E n v ir o n m e n t Ag e n c y Sea Defence Scheme Pevensey Environment Agency Battles With Storm conditions around Pevensey Bay 2 The Sea At Pevensey Who We Are As the guardians of the environment with responsibility to protect land, air and water throughout England and Wales, the Environment Agency is planning the biggest ever sea defence project in Sussex, a multi-million pound scheme to protect Pevensey Bay. The Environment Agency came into existence in April 1996 and combines the expertise of the previous National Rivers Authority (NRA), Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Pollution (HMIP) and the County Council Waste Regulation Authorities. The Agency took over the responsibility for sea defences at Pevensey Bay from the National Rivers Authority - covering a 9 kilometre stretch of coastline between Eastbourne and Bexhill. Environment Agency Information Centre Why Does Pevensey 4 Sea Defences? When William the Conqueror first set foot on English soil at Pevensey in 1066, the castle was on a peninsula surrounded by the sea which at that time extended almost as far inland as the outskirts of Hailsham. The castle then had a harbour and even its own fishing fleet. Today the castle is over a mile from the sea as successive generations have drained the surrounding marshes and built new sea defences. The nine kilometre long beach between Langney Point and Cooden provides the present defence against flooding from the sea. It protects a 50 square kilometre area including Pevensey Bay, Normans Bay, Langney, Westham and Pevensey itself.
