If we want to retain a Suffolk coast rich in wildlife then we need to plan for the creation of wildlife habitats within our future coastline, and this approach is underpinned by obligations under European legislation,' said Richard Rafe, Suffolk team manager for English Nature.

 BBC - Suffolk - Planet Suffolk - Making space for wildlife and people
Suffolk’s coast urgently needs new habitats created for the benefit of wildlife and people, says a new report by five major wildlife and countryside organisations.
'Suffolk's Changing Coast – making space for wildlife and people' says that we need to plan for the replacement of coastal habitats already lost to the sea through erosion and coastal squeeze – and for areas vulnerable to coastal change in the coming years.
The coast has always changed naturally with sandy cliffs eroding as at Dunwich and shingle ridges forming (eg Orfordness), but climate change is increasing the pace of change.

The second is the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB and although no part of this AONB is located within Tendring both Essex County Council and Tendring District Council are proposing that this AONB should be extended to cover the southern side of the Stour Estuary, between Mistley and Parkeston.
No part of the present Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB is within Tendring, but the southern boundary runs along the northern shore of the Stour Estuary, which excludes Tendring’s estuarial frontage and does not reflect the high scenic quality of the landscape on the south side of this estuary.

Rural East Suffolk comprises the alluvial plain of the river Waveney, with a focus at the ancient fishing port of Lowestoft.
More extensive areas of national and international environmental importance (the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB, sites designated as Wetlands of International Importance, and Special Protection Areas) are largely outside and adjacent to the area along the coastal belt.
The area is one of the poorest areas for nature conservation in Suffolk, because the soils are very good for arable farming and as a result few sites of interest to nature conservation remain.

The Suffolk River Valleys ESA has a traditional, pastoral character created by the mix of traditional grazing and arable cultivation.
In contrast, the grassland and arable areas typical of the dry valley slopes are enclosed by hedges, often with hedgerow trees.
The importance of this landscape is reflected by the fact that most of the ESA falls within the Dedham Vale and the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) or within Suffolk County Council's designated special landscape areas.
