States that "Royal Birkdale is one of the most ecologically sensitive courses on The Open rota [rotation] and lies within the Sefton Coast SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and SAC (Special Area of Conservation), both of which are overseen by Natural England." Describes a herpetological suvery commissioned by The Royal and Ancient (R&A) and Royal Birkdale to find sensitive areas, explaining that "the most sensitive areas will be cordoned off with no spectator access."
