The Countryside Concil for Wales is pleased to announce the publication of CCW Policy Research Report No 08/12. An approach to mapping seabed sensitivity was instigate to underpin advice requested from the Countryside Council for Wales by the Welsh Assembly Government. The development of this protocol has involved the input of many interested parties-particulary academics and fisheries managers, to ensure it is sufficiently robust before considering serious application of the results. We are greatful for all contributions to help in the development of this work.
Your views on the report are also sought and should be sent to the Association.
