Article 17 Habitats Directive Report 2019: Habitat Conservation Status Assessments
The fourth UK Habitats Directive Report considered the Conservation Status of all terrestrial and marine habitats listed under Annex I of the Directive that were present within the UK during the reporting period. For the UK this included:
- 69 terrestrial habitats within the UK Atlantic biogeographic region;
- 8 marine habitats within the UK Marine Atlantic region;
The table below provides links to the UK Atlantic and Marine Atlantic biogeographic habitat reports, as produced for the 2019 UK Habitats Directive Report. There are links to:
- the UK reporting information for each habitat – as submitted to the European Commission;
- supporting country and offshore information that was used to compile the UK reports – where a cell in the table below is blank it means that the habitat was not represented in that country.
