    5. Factors which influence, or may influence, the bottlenose dolphins

Within this section each factor that influences or may influence the bottlenose dolphins is described. The current and potential effects on the bottlenose dolphins are considered alongside existing management and socio-economic requirements to determine the need, or otherwise, to modify existing management or introduce something new. Actions are specified where required. This section aims to provide a logical and transparent explanation for the development of any site management.
