This series of datasets is derived from the UK wide data submitted to the EU Commmission. A substantive update was done as part of the Standard Data Form updating exercise on 22 December 2015 (Tranche 50) . It contains details for both SACs and SPAs - there is one row in the dataset for each combination of individual site and administrative region. The list of administrative regions is derived from the standard EU wide classification of NUTS. This dataset relates to section 2.5 of the Standard Data form Note The code UKZZ = extra regio. This is used for marine sites - ie below low water. Archived versions of this dataset are also available as part of a time series. These may be useful in determining how many sites there were at a given point of time, and also how some of the detailed information might have changed over time. Note that the data columns in this series of datasets were revised slightly in December 2015. Each archived version corresponds to a European submission. A record of the changes made at each submisison is shown here. http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-1488 Digital and Data Solutions, JNCC data@jncc.gov.uk custodian Freshwater Marine Terrestrial Protected Areas Habitats Directive Natura 2000 Released under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
