The Swanscombe peninsula has been designed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest by Natural England, due to its unique formation comprising coastal habitats, grasslands, scrub and wetlands. I am very concerned that wildlife in the UK is in decline and we need to preserve such habitats as Swanscombe which contain many rare and endangered species of birds and invertebrates. Swanscombe provides a habitat for the Distinguished jumping spider, Attulus Distinguendus, which is found on only one other site in the UK. This is an example of why this is a nationally important site.
