CoastView: Habitats

• England’s seas and coast are damaged and declining according to an English Nature report to be launched on 6 November 2002. State of nature: Maritime - getting onto an even keel is an 80 page report of evidence and analysis of the condition of the seas and coast around England. It reveals that despite important initiatives to protect the marine environment, it is showing signs of significant stress and low resilience to continuing pressure. All this adds up to an alarm call for those who use and manage our coasts and seas and care about the future.
