To be able to undertake the assessment in relation to (1) it is necessary to review the existing coastal & floodplain grazing marsh inventory to clarify to what extent the 'areas of highly important refuges for wetland wildlife' are within, or outside of, the HLS target area and to recommend any changes to the boundary of this. This is a desk-based assessment and no field work will be required. Task 3 will involve assessments through the use of a series of case studies covering a range of issues that may affect the way the AES has been used to both protect the existing value and enhance the potential for improving natural functioning of this habitat. These case studies will require consultation with land managers. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses an E-tendering system for Procurement activities.
