The (FBEI) Falmouth Bay and Estuaries Initiative (set up in 1993) area covers an extensive section of the southern coast of Cornwall at the western end of the English Channel.
The FBEI commissioned Environmental Consultants (CTNC) Ltd to produce a nature conservation overview of the area in 1995. The aims were to draw together all existing data on the habitats, flora and fauna; highlight key areas, features and species; identify particular nature conservation issues and problems; identify ideal management objectives; assist with the development of objectives and projects to safeguard the wildlife conservation interest of the area; and assist with the production of educational and interpretative material.
The report describes the physical conditions, outlines and assesses the habitats, and describes and evaluates the flora and fauna present.
Environmental Consultants (CTNC) Ltd is now known as Cornwall Environmental Consultants (CEC) Ltd.
