29th Licensing Round – Matrix of Blocks and Conservation Sites – Last updated 12th July 2016 The matrices included in this document list blocks in the three 29th seaward licensing round areas (West of Hebrides, East of Shetland and Mid North Sea High) along with their proximity to coastal and offshore conservation sites. The conservation sites include Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protection Areas (SACs and SPAs respectively, collectively termed Natura 2000 sites)1, and Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)2. Also listed are the features for which the sites are (or are proposed to be) designated for. The list includes designated sites and those which are at earlier stages in the designation process, including draft and potential sites. Applicants should augment the summary information provided in this document with the most recent site listings on the JNCC website, and also those of the devolved administrations relevant to the 29th Round: Scottish Natural Heritage and the Department of the Environment Northern Ireland. Links to each of the three areas are provided below: West of Hebrides East of Shetland Mid North Sea High
