31 st Licensing Round – Matrix of Blocks and Conservation Sites Last updated 8 th August 2018 The matrix included in this document lists those blocks offered in the 31 st Offshore Licensing Round which are in or within 10, 15 or 40km of conservation sites with marine and coastal features of relevance to oil and gas activities. The matrix aims to provide orientation to applicants of the type, nature and location of conservation sites in UK waters. For ease of access, the blocks and sites are organised into five regional areas (West of Shetland and Rockall; Central and Northern North Sea; Irish Sea and North Channel; South West Approaches and Celtic Sea; and English Channel). The conservation sites include Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protection Areas (SACs and SPAs, collectively termed Natura 2000 sites) 1 , Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) 2 , Nature Conservation Marine Protected Areas (NC MPAs) 3 , and a statutory Marine Nature Reserve (MNR) in Isle of Man waters 4 . Relevant coastal and marine sites of neighbouring nations are also included, and are denoted with the following acronyms next to site names: RoI (Republic of Ireland); NL (Netherlands), FR (France) and DE (Germany). Also listed are the features for which each site is (or is proposed to be) designated; in the case of Natura 2000 sites, lay titles and common names for habitats and species as defined in JNCC’s summary data spreadsheet (version November 2017) have been used. The JNCC spreadsheet also lists the corresponding full feature titles. The matrices include designated sites and those at earlier stages in the designation process, including potential sites. The summary information provided in this document is expanded in the most recent site listings on the JNCC website, the Natura 2000 summary data spreadsheet, and those of the devolved administrations: Scottish Natural Heritage; Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru / Natural Resources Wales; the Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, and the Crown Dependency of the Isle of Man.
