Bembidion nigropiceum

Subject to the findings of the autecological review assess potential for re-introduction to historical locations using the most robust existing populations as a donor source following the introduction of suitable management. Consider ecological requirements of the species, suitability of site (e.g. subject to ongoing threats and/or climate change effects), timing of release and the need for ongoing habitat management. No information could be found on the feasibility of such re-introductions nor the techniques necessary for success.

Reduce habitat loss resulting from sea level rise and increased storminess. This will require landscape scale strategic action such as beach recharge and consideration of the needs of threatened invertebrates by coastal authorities when designing and implementing coastal management activities. Shoreline Management Plans and other reviews will help identify locations where no action is necessary or, alternatively, where management measures are required.

Review historical and current management at existing locations and undertake literature reviews to characterise the range of micro-habitats within which it is found. The reviews should help identify key locations for the species which can be sustainably managed in the face of sea level rise. Information on the nature of coastal processes is available from Shoreline Management Plans.
