- W2965633138 abstract "This report sets out the results of the on-site visitor survey component of the Solent Disturbance and Mitigation project. The work was commissioned by the Solent Forum in response to concerns over the impact of recreational pressure on features of the Solent SPA, SAC and Ramsar Sites. Of particular concern are the cumulative impacts of recreational use arising from potential new housingdevelopments in the Chichester District and South Hampshire.The visitor surveys were conducted during the winter 2009/2010 to assess the level and type of visitor use at selected locations along the Solent coastline. Overall it is likely that the number of visitors interviewed and counted during the survey period was lower than would be normally be expected given the especially cold 2009/2010 winter. With that in mind, there is the potential thatthe monitoring could provide an underestimate of the absolute number visitors to the region.However, the interviews were designed to elicit generic and site specific details from visitors andalthough fewer individuals may have been recorded or interviewed because of the weather we canassume that the general winter visitation pattern remained similar and the results very useful inunderstanding who, where, when and why people use the coast.Counts of people and interviews were conducted at 20 locations around the Solent coastline(including the north shore of the Isle of Wight). A total of 16 hours of surveys were carried out ateach location, split equally between weekend (8 hours) and a weekday (8 hours). A total of 784interviews were conducted, accounting for 1,322 people and 550 dogs. The average group size was1.7 people.There were differences in visitor numbers between survey locations, with the highest visitornumbers recorded at Emsworth (1088 visitors were recorded using the site over 16 hours) whileLymington (Boldre/Pylewell) was the least busy (33 visitors counted over 16 hours). Visitor numbersper day were typically highest on weekend compared to weekdays. Holiday makers accounted for6% of the total number of visitors recorded (80 visitors). Visitors were undertook a wide range ofactivities, with walking (without a dog) and dog walking the two most frequently recorded activities(44% and 42% of interviews). Across all sites and activities, visits were typically short, with 89%lasting less than two hours. The main modes of transport used to reach sites were by car and onfoot, with the proportion of people arriving by each mode varying between sites. Across all sites(and taking the data for non-holiday makers only), 51% of interviewees arrived by car and a further46% arrived on foot. Home postcodes were used to identify the distance between interviewee’shome and the location where interviewed. Half of all visitors arriving on foot lived within 0.7km,while half of all visitors arriving by car lived more than 4km away. Only 9% of foot visitors lived morethan 2km away compared to 80% of all car visitors.Linear regressions using housing numbers within different distance bands of a location as a predictorof visitor numbers for each location show a positive relationship between the number of houseswithin 1km, 3km and 5km and number of visitors entering each survey location. Car park capacity atthe access points did not provide a good indication of the frequency of visitors arriving by car to eachlocation. The relationship is more complex, future modelling of visitor rates travelling to locations bycar should include potential road related parking (related to length of nearby roads around accesspoints) in addition to official and off road car parking capacity around the access points.2Route data were also collected for each interview, with lines drawn directly on maps during thesurvey. These route data were analysed to determine which activities take place below Mean HighWater Mark (MHWM) and how far different groups go out into the intertidal. Across all theinterviews, 7% of the mapped routes did not go within 25m of MHWM and were therefore visitorswho did not actually make it to the beach (in some locations the survey point was set inland, forexample near to parking locations etc.). A further 78% were entirely within the band between 25mabove and 25m below MHWM, indicating routes that remained at the top of the beach, on theseawall or similar. It was 14% of the mapped routes that went below 50m from MHWM, and theseincluded a range of activities, for example bait diggers, dog walkers, joggers, cyclists and people outon a family outing.The implications of the results for further modelling and in relation to the disturbance of birds onthe European Sites are discussed." @default.
