We have published our Strategy Area Description. 

This is Step 3 in preparing the strategy. The purpose of the area description is to inform the setting of priorities for recovering or enhancing biodiversity (habitats and species) and environmental improvement. The area description considers the range and distribution of habitats, especially priority habitats, and species or species groups within the strategy area and for which it is, or could feasibly be, of national importance.
