| 摘要： | Throughout Europe, many coastal and estuarine areas have been designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) under the EU Habitats Directive (EU Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and wild flora and fauna). Together with sites designated as Special Protection Areas (SPA) under the EU Birds Directive (Council Directive 79/409/EEC on the conservation of wild birds), SACs form a Europe-wide network of protected sites known as the Natura 2000 network. Most major European ports now operate within or in the immediate vicinity of one or more such protected sites. Although the Habitats Directive came into force in 1992, the full implications of the Directive for port and navigation infrastructure developments have only become apparent over the last 3-5 years. Ports across Europe are having to modify, delay or reconsider development plans pending the resolution of a variety of issues relating to the requirements of the Directive, particularly where habitat mitigation or compensation measures are necessary. This paper describes the requirements of the Habitats Directive, explores the issues it raises and some of the implications, and provides examples of its consequences for major port and navigation infrastructure development in Europe. |
