A range of human activities, such as coastal developments and defences can result in the loss of these important coastal and marine habitats. These human activities coupled with future climate change, in particular sea level rise, could have significant impacts upon the natural coastal and marine environments. Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) require a way to model the vulnerability of coastal habitats to these impacts. The following metadata describes phase 1 of this project. The purpose of this data capture was to produce a marine habitat vulnerability assessment of the Welsh Coast to consider those habitats/biotopes that are vulnerable to coastal squeeze as a result of coastal management and other natural constraints for the coast of Wales.
