Note: Assessment of Special Protection Areas, which are designated for their bird interests
are dealt with separately in the Ornithology Chapter (Chapter 12).
32 Defined in Table 11.2
33 It should be noted that it is recognised that coastal otters can often be more active during the
day being more influenced by the tidal cycle than the time of day. However, the otters which
occur in proximity to the application area are not considered to be true coastal otters (such as
those of the west coast of Scotland for example) and are more likely to be associated with the
local watercourses which feed into the Forth Estuary rather than the estuary specifically.
