The report frames kelp forests as ecologically important habitats whose distribution, underpinning biology and ecology, and sensitivity to natural and anthropogenic change are required for effective monitoring and guidance. It outlines the legislative rationale from instruments such as the Habitats Directive and describes project aims linked to assessing sensitivity characteristics and defining conservation objectives for selected
