collected on the level of management at IPAs <strong>and</strong> these will be used to prioritise any<br />

future action.Where appropriate IPAs that are not currently protected will be proposed as<br />

protected <strong>areas</strong> or proposed for <strong>in</strong>clusion <strong>in</strong> conservation management schemes.<br />
