Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) with marine components are defined on the basis of the presence of Habitats Directive Annex I habitat and/or Annex II species interest features that are associated with the marine environment. A list of these features can be found here http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-4166 and the definition of SACs with marine components is set out in the following paper: http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/pdf/MN2KPG16_13_MN2KDefs.pdf One or more of these marine habitats/species must be present as a qualifying feature (see below) within the SAC for it to be defined as a SAC with marine components. Some coastal SACs may not contain any marine habitats/species and so these are not included here. Other coastal SACs may contain a mixture of marine and non-marine features – only the marine features are listed in this spreadsheet but the Non-marine interest features column on the SAC Sites worksheet indicates where additional non-marine features are protected in that site. Data covers: Site code, Site name, Site status, Country, CP2 Region, Feature type, Qualifying marine interest features and Lay title or common name. This spreadsheet includes: - the revision to Natura 2000 Standard Data Forms and the submission of data to the European Commission in December 2015 (Tranche 50) - removal of 9 SACs from the list following reviews by the country agencies of which sites contain marine components. These sites remain designated for terrestrial/freshwater features but are no longer considered to have marine components. - addition of cSAC The Inner Hebrides and The Minches.
