West Pembrokeshire tidally exposed seabed and shores (2003) dataset https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=007_NRW_DS87133 As part of the UK's commitment to the 1992 UNEP Convention on Biological Diversity there have been a number of coordinated initiatives to identify those habitats which may be under threat in the UK, and to establish plans to reduce those threats and thereby maintain biodiversity. The UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) is now one of the main focuses of that work. It provides detailed proposals for a number of species, species groups and habitats requiring urgent conservation action. Tidal Rapids is one of those habitats. Tidal Rapids are a UK Biodiversity Action Plan feature and rocky Reefs are listed as an Annex I feature under the Habitats Directive (1992). These features are of conservation importance and the data collected during this survey is used to help define conservation objectives and inform decisions regarding protection and management. 20040305
