| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the efforts taken by the R & A before and during the 2011 Open Championship to minimize the tournament's impact on the surrounding environment. States that "because the site is designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), it is important to ensure that the wider dune grasslands are not unduly damaged." Mentions signage, roped-off areas, and decoy birds as potential methods for environmental protection. Concludes that "this surely must send a strong message out to all golf clubs to consider the habitats and species that are to be found on their golf course and to manage these in a structured manner that will not unduly impact upon the wildlife." |
