Site Improvement Plan River Wye Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan River Wye Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England and for most sites which straddle the border between England and Wales. This plan has been drawn up as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS) in conjunction with the LIFE Natura 2000 Programme for Wales. Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the whole site (in both England and Wales), and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIP for this cross-border site between England and Wales is based on Natural England and Natural Resources Wales's current evidence and knowledge, and are live, and not legal documents; they will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as Actions get underway. The information in the SIP will be used to update both England and Wales's contributions to the UK's Prioritised Action Framework (PAF). The SIPs are not formal consultation documents, but if you have any comments (relating to areas within England and/or Wales) about the SIP or would like more information please email us at [email protected], or contact Natural England's Responsible Officer for the site via our enquiry service 0300 060 3900, or [email protected] To contact Natural Resources Wales telephone 0300 065 3000, or email [email protected] This Site Improvement Plan covers the following Natura 2000 site(s) UK0012642 River Wye SAC 1/25 Site description The River Wye SAC covers 250km of relatively natural and unmodified main river with a near-natural fluvio-geomorphological regime. The upland reaches, from the source in Powys, has a bryophyte dominated vegetation which progresses into extensive water crowfoot Ranunculus beds in the lowland reaches in England. The lower 23km is transitional habitat to the confluence with the Severn Estuary. The river supports a number of internationally important migratory fish, including Atlantic Salmon, Lamprey and Shad species. Otters are widespread. Plan Summary This table shows the prioritised issues for the site(s), the features they affect, the proposed measures to address the issues and the delivery bodies whose involvement is required to deliver the measures. The list of delivery bodies will include those who have agreed to the actions as well as those where discussions over their role in delivering the actions is on-going.

impacting or threatening the condition of the features, and the outstanding actions required to address them. It also shows, where possible, the estimated cost of the action and the delivery bodies whose involvement will be required to implement the action. Lead delivery bodies will be responsible for coordinating the implementation of the action, but not necessarily funding it. Delivery partners will need to support the lead delivery body in implementing the action. In the process of developing the SIPs Natural England has approached the delivery bodies to seek agreement on the actions and their roles in delivering them, although in some cases these discussions have not yet been concluded.

INTRODUCTION A storm crossing south-west Britain on the evening of 13th December I981, coinciding with high water of a spring tide, caused coastal flooding in the Bristol Channel. The area affected stretched along the south side of the Channel east of Bideford extending up the River Severn almost as far as Gloucester. The worst flooding occurred on the west-facing coast between the mouth of the River Parrett and just north of Weston-Super-Mare.

  • River Wye SSSI Restoration Technical Report Finaldraftforconsultation
    River Wye SSSI Restoration Technical Report –Draft for Comment Issued for comment January 2015 River Wye SSSI Restoration Technical Report_FinalDraftForConsultation Executive summary Jacobs was commissioned by the Environment Agency to produce separate Technical Reports for the restoration of the Lower Wye and River Lugg. In addition, Management Reports to complement each Technical Report were also produced by Jacobs. This is a Technical Report on the geomorphological assessment of the Lower Wye. The Lower River Wye and is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The river is designated due to the presence of grayling, freshwater pearl mussel, white-clawed crayfish, shad, otter, salmon, bullhead, lamprey, various invertebrate assemblages and water-crowfoot communities. The Upper and Middle Wye are also designated, however those reaches lie within Wales and were not investigated for this Technical Report. Reports for the Upper and Middle Wye will be produced separately by Natural Resources Wales (NRW). A combination of all reports will provide a catchment wide restoration strategy for all the SACs and SSSIs in the River Wye catchment. The Lower Wye mainly flows through England; however there is a section around Monmouth that is entirely within Wales. Here the right bank of the river is generally regulated by NRW, whilst the left bank is regulated by Natural England and the Environment Agency. Natural England has subdivided the Lower Wye SSSI into seven management units, six of which are assessed to be in ‘unfavourable condition’. This report is required to assess the current geomorphological condition and pressures on the Lower Wye to inform a Management Report that will provide suggestions to help achieve favourable condition in each of the management units.

  • Invertebrate Assemblages on English Sssis English Nature Research Reports
    Report Number 618 Invertebrate assemblages on English SSSIs English Nature Research Reports working today for nature tomorrow English Nature Research Reports Number 618 Invertebrate assemblages on English SSSIs Keith N. A. Alexander, C. Martin Drake, Derek A. Lott and Jonathan R. Webb 2004 You may reproduce as many additional copies of this report as you like, provided such copies stipulate that copyright remains with English Nature, Northminster House, Peterborough PE1 1UA ISSN 0967-876X © Copyright English Nature 2005 Acknowledgements Mike Edwards contributed to early discussion. Summary 1. Data from English Nature’s Invertebrate Site Register, SSSI citations and the English Nature Site Information System (ENSIS) were used to identify assemblages of invertebrates on SSSI for which invertebrate interest had been recognised in the citations or ENSIS. 2. Assemblages were defined using predominantly well recognised habitat terms. These terms were organised into a hierarchy of three levels. A total of 133 terms were used at the second and third levels, and the number of assemblages recognised exceeds this when the terms were used in combinations. The importance of assemblages was assessed as national / international, regional or county / local. 3. Of the 1028 sites investigated, 885 had sufficient data to allow at least one assemblage to be identified. The average number of assemblages per site was 3.1, ranging from 1 to 10. 4. Assemblages with a high representation in the results were those associated with grasslands, mature woodland, fen and marsh (the latter two mainly represented in features such as ponds and ditches). A few assemblages appeared to be particularly poorly represented, notably shingle and dune assemblages.

  • Surprise Landing of a Sea Trout from the Middle Bristol Avon
    Surprise landing of a sea trout from the middle Bristol Avon In March 2015, a local angler reported the capture of a sea trout from the Bristol Avon right up around Chippenham. Despite the fact that the Bristol Avon enters the Severn Estuary at Avonmouth, where sea trout from tributary rivers such as the Severn, Usk, Wye and many others are to be found, this is a rare capture on our home river. Sea trout are occasionally caught in the lower river, but so many weirs and other obstructions have been built on the Bristol Avon throughout history that passage is all but blocked and we A surprise sea trout from the seem to have lost what would undoubtedly have been a natural sea trout population. This fish has battled against huge odds! middle Bristol Avon What is a sea trout? The sea trout is a curious beast indeed. Sea trout and brown trout are in fact the same species (Salmo trutta). The distinction of the sea trout is that it has run down the river system to the sea to feed and grow and then returned to freshwater to breed, known as an anadromous life cycle. Whether trout remain in fresh waters or take to sea depends on a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In many short, spate rivers, the majority may take to sea often driven by a lack of food in nutrient-poor rivers systems as well as sometime by the hostility for flows where refuge habitat is impoverished. The early life stages of sea trout – the egg, alevin, fry and parr stages – are spend in fresh waters, spanning between one and three years depending on factors such as temperature and food availability.
