The Marine Monitoring Handbook addresses the principles behind, and the procedures for, monitoring Annex I habitats, and selected Annex II species, within marine SACs in British waters to assess their condition in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Directive and the UK’s common standards for site monitoring.

This is part of our Good Practice Guidance for Fish, produced by Vaughan Lewis, Steve Coates and Kerry Sims.
