Special Protection Areas (SPAs) are special sites designated under the to protect rare, vulnerable and migratory birds.
The proposal for Liverpool Bay / Bae Lerpwl is to extend the SPA to support internationally important populations of:

The proposal is also to add cormorant and red-breasted merganser to the waterbird assemblage as named species.
The proposal is available as a series of separate documents (attached above). You should:
