There are a further 81 SSSIs, which cover 66 % or more of the land surfaces of Fair Isle, Papa Stour, Fetlar, Noss and Foula.

There are over 750 km² of Sites of Special Scientific Interest ( SSSIs ) in the area, as well as National Nature Reserves at Caerlaverock and in Cumbria.

SSSIs are the basic building block of site-based nature conservation legislation and most other legal nature / geological conservation designations in Great Britain are based upon them, including National Nature Reserves, Ramsar Sites, Special Protection Areas, and Special Areas of Conservation.

Sites notified for their biological interest are known as Biological SSSIs, and those notified for geological or physiographic interest are Geological SSSIs.

SSSIs may be divided into management units, with some SSSI areas including units that are notified for both biological and geological interest.

In England, the designating body for SSSIs, Natural England, selects biological SSSIs from within Natural Areas which are areas with particular landscape and ecological characteristics, or on a county basis.

Geological SSSIs are selected by a different mechanism to biological SSSIs, with a minimalistic system selecting one site for each geological feature in Great Britain.

Almost all GCR sites ( but no other sites ) are subsequently notified as geological SSSIs, except some that coincide with designated biological SSSI management units.

SSSIs are not necessarily open to the public, nor are they necessarily owned by a conservation organisation or by the British government — in fact, their access and ownership are no different from the rest of the countryside.

Local planning authorities are required to have policies in their development plans which protect SSSIs.

The owners and occupiers of SSSIs are required to consult the appropriate conservation body if they want to carry out ( or permit ) activities on the land.

In Great Britain, SPAs ( and SACs ) designated on land or in the intertidal area are normally also notified as Sites of Special Scientific Interest ( SSSIs ), and in Northern Ireland as Areas of Special Scientific Interest ( ASSIs ).

A further 800 areas have special designation and a further 100 are Sites of Special Scientific Interest ( SSSIs ).

Most SSSIs are privately owned and occupied, and through discussions and management agreements CCW attempts to ensure that the wildlife value of sites is retained and enhanced.

Twelve Sites of Special Scientific Interest ( SSSIs ) that include wetland habitats are located within the Mole catchment area and the stretch of river through Leatherhead has been designated a Local Nature Reserve.

There are ongoing debates between the authority and farmers over the biological monitoring of SSSIs, showing the need for a controlled regime of grazing and burning ; farmers claim that these regimes are not practical or effective in the long term.

The law protects the interest features of SSSIs from development, from other damage, and ( since 2000 ) also from neglect.

There are also three or four sites of special scientific interest ( or ' SSSIs ') around its perimeter.

At the time of the passing of the Wildlife and Countryside Act in 1981 many SSSIs were already in existence, having been notified over the previous decades under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949.

* civil action-in most serious cases where all other options have been explored, Natural England can take civil action to claim possession of SSSIs under serious threat.

* Up to £ 5, 000 fine ( incidents involving SSSIs can now incur fines of up to £ 20, 000 under amendments made by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 ).

SSSIs were originally set up by the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, but the current legal framework for SSSIs is provided by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, amended in 1985 and further substantially amended in 2000 ( by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 ), in Scotland by the Nature Conservation ( Scotland ) Act 2004 and in Northern Ireland by the Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands ( Northern Ireland ) Order 1985.

In short, the act gives protection to native species ( especially those at threat ), controls the release of non-native species, enhances the protection of SSSIs and builds upon the rights of way rules in the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949.

The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 strengthened protection of SSSIs introduced by the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949.

2000-The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 strengthened protection of SSSIs ; by increased English Nature's enforcement power ( allowed to combat neglect, prevent damaging activity, make public bodies responsible for conservation and enhancement of SSSIs ) and increasing penalties for damage to a maximum of £ 20, 000 per offence ( along with court power to order restoration if damage occurs ).

2009-The Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 allowed the creation of marine conservation zones and with the consent of the secretary of state, the creation of SSSIs below mean low water mark.

By far the largest of the SSSIs is called Cheddar Complex and covers of the gorge, caves and the surrounding area.

It includes four SSSIs, formerly known as Cheddar Gorge SSSI, August Hole / Longwood Swallet SSSI, GB Cavern Charterhouse SSSI and Charterhouse on-Mendip SSSI.

Biological SSSIs may be selected for various reasons, governed by published SSSI Selection Guidelines.

Conservation of biological SSSIs usually involves continuation of the natural and artificial processes which resulted in their development and survival — for example, the continued traditional grazing of heathland or chalk grassland.

The formal notification of SSSIs is made to a number of different people: central government, local planning authorities, all the owners and occupiers of the land, and various other public bodies, such as water companies.

Purely geological SSSIs often have much shorter OLD lists.

The law protecting SSSIs now covers everyone, not just public bodies and the owners and occupiers of SSSIs.

All the drivers knew about the plates and they also knew about the big floppy straw hat with shredded edges, the kind natives in travel ads wear when they are out joyfully chopping cane.

I think that we are here also talking of the kind of fear that a young boy has for a group of boys who are approaching at night along the streets of a large city.

By `` image '' is meant not only a visual presentation, but also remembered sensations of any of the five senses plus the feelings which are immediately conjoined therewith.

it is true that they are also extremely dull.

The networks for military communications are one of the best examples of networks which not only must be changed with the changes in objectives but also must be changed with the addition of new machines of war.

We are also struck by the fact that this story of a boy's love for his mother does not offend, while the incestuous love of the man, Paul Morel, sometimes repels.

He and also Mr. Cowley and Mr. Warren have fallen to the temptation which besets many of us to read into our authors -- Nathaniel Hawthorne, for example, and Herman Melville -- protests against modernism, material progress, and science which are genuine protests of our own but may not have been theirs.

On December 21, the day that the Irish House of Commons petitioned for removal of Sir Constantine Phipps, their Tory Lord Chancellor, Molesworth reportedly made this remark on the defense of Phipps by Convocation: `` They that have turned the world upside down, are come hither also ''.

Among measures in anticipation of crisis are plans to inject into the turmoil as assistants of key decision makers qualified persons who are cognizant of the corrosive effect of crisis upon personal relationships and are also able to raise calm and realistic voices when overburdened leaders near the limit of self-control.

Very likely it will also include a recognition that the work we are reading reflects or `` belongs to '' some way of thought labelled as a `` school '' or an `` -ism '', i.e. a complex or `` syndrome '' of ideas occurring together with sufficient prominence to warrant identification.

Greek boys and girls also go for rock-and-roll, and the stations most tuned to are those carrying United States overseas programs.

They both measure literature by moral standards, and in their political writings both allow for censorship, but the differences between them are also significant.

We may further grant to those of her ( Poetry's ) defenders who are lovers of poetry and yet not poets, the permission to speak in prose on her behalf: let them show not only that she is pleasant but also useful to States and to human life, and we will listen in a kindly spirit ; ;

Occupational choices are also useful -- and interesting -- in bringing out clearly that values do not constitute the only component in goals and aspirations.

The students who are most willing to acquiesce in the suppression of civil liberties are also those who are most likely to be prejudiced against minority groups, to be conformist and traditionalistic in general social attitudes, and to lack a basic faith in people.

This finding is consistent also with the fact that student leaders are more likely to be supporters of the values implicit in civil liberties than the other students.

In this sense also, they are surely conformists.

Of course I hope Hal can also, but those hopes are much more faint ''.

The novel, which is not merely dystopian but also brilliantly satiric, describes a future America where one-sixteenth of the population, the men who run advertising agencies and big corporations, control the rest of the people, the submerged fifteen-sixteenths who are the workers and consumers, with the government being no more than `` a clearing house for pressures ''.

But I will also remind them that I have always been inclined to skepticism, to a kind of Laodicean lack of commitment so far as public affairs are concerned ; ;
