NE Kent European marine sites Management Scheme
The Management Scheme in a cockle shell!
The Thanet coast is internationally important for its bird and
marine life and deserves the highest protection possible. But the
coast is also important for many other reasons – thousands of
people live there and many thousands more visit each year.
Everything we do has an effect on the coastline and the Scheme
was established to monitor that effect, by looking at each activity
and examining whether it harmed the important coastal features and
wildlife and what to do about it. The scheme was developed at a
series of workshops, involving those who participated in the
various activities making decisions about the future management of
the coastline – a unique way of working at that time.
The original Management Scheme was launched in 2001 and
ran until 2006. The Scheme included an Action Plan in
which all the ‘Relevant Authorities’ were responsible for
implementing the action and progress was reviewed each year.
The Scheme was reviewed using stakeholder dialogue
workshops during 2006 - incorporating wider 'ecosystem
approach' perspective. The new overview and action plan
were launched in April 2007.
