This report has been written for hydrologists and ecologists, to boost cooperation and integration between the two disciplines. The report is concerned primarily with European designated conservation sites, together with other statutory (and non-statutory) sites. The approach used can be extended to cover additional international designations.

This is part of our Good Practice Guidance for Habitats and Flora, produced by Richard Jefferson, Dominic Price, Iain Diack, Steve Coates and Andy Mclay.
