BTO reports on plans for the Thames Estuary airport |
|
British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) ecologists have recently reported on controversial proposals to build an airport on the Isle of Grain in the Thames Estuary. The study shows that this development would cause significant loss of coastal habitat within two areas that are protected under European law for their internationally important waterbird populations.
The full report and a summary on the potential effect of major estuarine developments on bird populations can be read at: http://www.bto.org/science/latest-research/bto-reports-plans-thames-estuary-airport?dm_i=IG4,2PAU4,H7T58M,9V0AA,1

Delighted that the Boris Island proposals have been rejected.
