The potential application of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) to the farming of Atlantic salmon (Salmon salar L.) in mainland Scotland
Article Abstract:
There is a need to evolve a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) based on the concept of sustainable resource use for farming of Atlantic Salmon in the UK. The negative impact of the marine fish industry threatens the environment of inshore sea lochs as well as the wild life. Improvement in environmental assessment and monitoring by using SEA is emphasized to maintain the viability of marine industry and conservation of natural ecosystems. The current position of marine fishing in the UK and the requisite legislative mechanisms are also analyzed.

Scope for strategic ecological assessment of trunk-road development in England with respect to potential impacts on lowland heathland, the Dartford warbler (Sylvia undata) and the sand lizard (Lacerta agilis)
Article Abstract:
A strategic ecological assessment was conducted in England to determine if proposed road developments are compatible with the protection of an internationally important and protected wildlife habitat and associated protected species such as the sand lizard and the Dartford warbler. In this study, a version of the Countryside Information System created for the UK Dept of the Environment was used. It was found that the risks attributable to the road developments can be quantified for 1 square km and examined on a county basis.

The cost and practicality of techniques for the reversion of arable land to lowland wet grassland-an experimental study and review
Article Abstract:
Intensive agricultural practices have affected semi-natural habitats, with lowland wet grasslands particularly affected. Opportunities have arisen to reinstate such communities via initiatives such as the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) scheme. The reasons for the decline of wet grasslands and why they should be protected are discussed. The cost and effectiveness of reinstating lowland wet grassland site within the upper Thames
