    ABP Southampton Environmental Statement for Port of Southampton: Berth 201/202 Works Appendix E Review of Nature Conservation Designations Appendix E Review of Nature Conservation Designations Environmental Statement for Port of Southampton: Berth 201/202 Works Appendices Appendix E. Review of Nature Conservation Designations The following sections review the sites of international, national and local designated nature conservation interest in the study area and the non-statutory Biodiversity Action Plans (BAPs) that are relevant to the impact assessment. Ramsar Sites Under the 1972 Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, it is a requirement of signatory states to protect wetland sites of international importance, including those that are important waterfowl habitats. The boundaries of the Ramsar sites in the study area are included in Figure 6.1 of the main Environmental Statement (ES) document. Solent and Southampton Water Ramsar Site The Solent and Southampton Water Ramsar Site, covering 5346ha, was designated in October 1998. The site comprises estuaries and adjacent coastal habitats, including intertidal flats, saline lagoons, shingle beaches, saltmarsh, reedbeds, damp woodland, and grazing marsh. The different habitats support internationally important numbers of wintering waterfowl, important breeding gull and tern populations and an important assemblage of rare invertebrates and plants. The Solent and Southampton Water was designated a Ramsar site by meeting the qualifying criteria outlined below: Criterion 1: The site is one of the few major sheltered channels between a substantial island and mainland in European waters, exhibiting an unusual strong double tidal flow with long periods of slack water at high and low tide. It comprises many wetland habitats characteristic of the biogeographic region: saline lagoons, saltmarshes, estuaries, intertidal flats, shallow coastal waters, grazing marshes, reedbeds, coastal woodland and rocky boulder reefs; Criterion 2: The site supports an important assemblage of rare plants and invertebrates.
