SSSI Guidelines. Chapter 1c: Saline lagoons 2022

Abstract

Guidelines for the Selection of biological SSSIs

Part 2: Detailed guidelines for habitats and species groups

The statutory nature conservation agencies have a duty under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as amended, to notify any area of land which in their opinion is 'of special interest by reason of any of its flora, fauna, or geological or physiographical features'. Such areas are known as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs).

This chapter covers saline lagoons, and was published in 2022. It is an update to the previous version of the chapter, produced in 1996.
