In particular, the process of consultation Maintaining the strength of the tourism sector has provided a greater insight into the views is pivotal to the welfare of the economy and the of the community, businesses, environmental community of the area, as tourism remains one organisations, and visitors. of the few industrial and employment sectors that has the potential to be compatible with the The following summary details the key findings of conservation aims and objectives of specially Scott Wilson’s investigations into the benefits and protected areas. impacts of tourism within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Tourism relies heavily on the retention of the qualities, character and charm of its landscape, its settlements, its scenery and its wildlife. In return, tourism has the capacity to underpin the strength of the economy; its well-being of the community through the provision of business and employment; and also to act as a crucial axis in the local supply chain by supporting a wide array of other economic sectors. However, as with any economic sector, tourism can generate potential sources of conflict, with general growth aspirations driven by economic forces in opposition to the need for environment conservation and maintaining the fabric of the community itself. In order to achieve a truly sustainable tourism destination, the behaviour and impact of visitors, both positive and negative, need to be fully understood, and reflected in future visitor management plans and policies. 2 Norfolk Coast AONB Tourism Benefits & Impacts Analysis 2. Study Aims & Approach Study Aims & Approach The aim of the study, as outlined in the Brief, is to Although the investigations have been conducted firmly identify the costs and benefits of tourism to as two phases, the process for Phase II has helped the AONB, in order that more effective management to place an appropriate weight to the impacts techniques can be identified based on the principles identified in Phase I. Therefore, it is deemed of sustainability. Thus, the study bried identified inappropriate to present each phase as a separate the specific requirement for the recommendations report. Rather, reference is made to the findings to be representative of the interests of business, of Phase II where it adds evidence or weight to the environment, the community, and the visitors; the effects of a particular impact; or whereby the all as equal stakeholders. exploration of certain solutions has generated strong opinion. To fulfil these requirements, a two-phase approach has been adopted. The main aims of the two The value of this study is that it has essentially phases can be defined as follows: instigated, through its ambition and its content, a new process for evaluating both the costs and • Phase I - To thoroughly investigate the nature benefits of tourism within an environmentally of the tourism sector, and to define the key sensitive destination, with analysis of all elements benefits and costs (economic, environmental placed side-by-side.

Investigation Summary Investigation Summary provision generally matching visitor requirements Overview of Tourism within the through a good mix of accommodation (Map 3.); a range of things to do and see (Map 3.2); AONB a high level of walking and cycling routes; and a mix of more specialist activities and pursuits. The Norfolk Coast AONB is a tourism destination Nevertheless, the tourism product could still be in its own right due to its distinctive landscape and enhanced through investment in quality, service, wildlife, and the nature of the tourists attracted and through a greater degree of packaging. to it.

  • Layman's Report
    Titchwell Marsh Coastal Change Project Layman’s Report Introduction Titchwell Marsh RSPB Nature Reserve was created between 1974 and 1978. Today the Reserve covers 379 ha of the North Norfolk coastline and is one of the RSPB’s most popular nature reserves. The location of the reserve is illustrated below. Historical records show that by 1717 the land that is now occupied by the nature reserve had been claimed from the sea and for over 200 years was in agricultural use, as well as a short period of time as a military training area. Following the devastating east coast floods in 1953 the sea defences protecting the land were breached and never repaired. The land returned back to saltmarsh. In the 1970s, the RSPB acquired the site and enclosed 38 ha of the saltmarsh within a series of sea walls creating 11 ha of brackish (intermediate salinity) lagoon, 18 ha of freshwater reedbeds and 12 ha of freshwater lagoons. Combined with coastal dunes, saltmarsh, tidal reedbed and small stands of broad‐leaved woodland and scrub, Titchwell supports a wide range of habitats in a relatively small area. Titchwell Marsh is now of national and international importance for birds and other wildlife and is a component of two Natura 2000 sites ‐ the North Norfolk Coast Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and The North Norfolk Coast Special Protection Area (SPA). In addition Titchwell Marsh lies within the North Norfolk Coast Ramsar Site, the North Norfolk Coast Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).The reserve is noted, in particular, for the following: The second largest reedbed in North Norfolk, nationally important for breeding marsh harrier, bearded tit and bittern.

  • 1-Day Norfolk Coast Winter Birding Tour
    1-DAY NORFOLK COAST WINTER BIRDING TOUR NOVEMBER – MARCH Western Marsh Harrier will be a near-constant feature of our tour. www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | ITINERARY UK 1-day tour: Norfolk Coast in Winter Our 1-day coastal Norfolk winter tour will take in the fabulous coastline of the county in its most dramatic form and connect with many of the special birds that make this part of the United Kingdom their home during this season. We will begin our tour at 9am and finish the day around dusk (times will vary slightly through the winter period). The North Norfolk coast is a popular and busy place, with birders and other tourists gravitating to several well-known sites. We will see a similar set of species to those possible at these well-known sites but will hopefully enjoy our birds with less people around. Our tour meeting point is at Thornham Harbour, with the first part of the tour expected to take around three hours. From our meeting point we will first explore the immediate area where we will find wading birds such as Common Redshank, Eurasian Curlew, Common Snipe, Eurasian Oystercatcher, and Grey Plover. We may also come across the delicate Twite as well as Eurasian Rock Pipit which both spend the winter in this sheltered spot. We will then make our way along the sea wall as far as the coastal dunes. Along the route we will look for more waders as we scan the expansive saltmarsh. Here we will come across vast flocks of Pink-footed Geese and Brant (Dark-bellied Brent) Geese, flocks of Eurasian Wigeon and Eurasian Teal, and mixed finch flocks containing European Goldfinch, Common Linnet, and perhaps more Twite.

    Local Species NORFOLK BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN Ref: L/S4 Action Plan 4 Little Tern Sternula albifrons (formerly Sterna albifrons) Plan Author: RSPB (Philip Pearson) Coastal BAP Topic Plan Co-ordinator: Group Plan Leaders: RSPB / NE Date: June 2010 Stage: Final Plan Duration: June 2010 – May 2015 Little terns are grey above and white below, with a black ‘cap’ and white forehead. They have orange-yellow legs, and a yellow bill with a black tip. They are Europe’s smallest tern and one of Britain’s rarest breeding seabirds. They are summer visitors to the UK, usually arriving in mid-April and leaving by September. Social nesting colonies are formed on sand and shingle beaches that offer good visibility for predator detection. There are several colonies in the UK, with little terns demonstrating a strong preference for nesting at beach sites on the Norfolk coast. Their diet consists of small fish and invertebrates collected from feeding areas not more than 3-4km from the breeding site. Little terns lay two to three eggs in a shallow scrape in sand where their eggs are camouflaged among stones. Hatching occurs after 18-22 days and the young are able to leave the nest soon afterwards. Fledging is completed after 19-20 days. 1.

  • A Report on the Current Environmental Condition of the North Norfolk Coast
    A report on the current environmental condition of the North Norfolk Coast Natural England - November 2018 Report summary There are indications that the condition of the North Norfolk Coast’s (NNC) natural environment is declining as a result of numerous pressures. The State of the North Norfolk Coast report has taken a holistic approach to assessing the condition of the coast’s natural environment, collating information on: Why people value the NNC? – including the results of a survey carried out to inform this report. The resources of the coast’s natural environment (Natural Capital) and the service and goods it provides (Ecosystem Services) The condition and risks to the coast’s natural environment, looking at key habitats, species, and assemblages. The drivers of change on the coast, looking at how issues are impacting on and degrading the coast’s natural environment. Informed by Natural England’s current conservation strategy and Defra’s 25 year Plan for the Environment, this report is a step away from small site ‘unit’ based assessment of condition focused on protected features. The NNC is one of the largest expanses of undeveloped coastal habitat of its type in Europe. It supports a wealth of wildlife of national and international importance reflected by the designation across 66% of the area as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Area (SPA), and a Ramsar wetland of global significance. It is a remote, open and dynamic coastal landscape, with a long history of human management and settlement, which contribute to a special and culturally important landscape as recognised by being part of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and North Norfolk Heritage Coast.
