This four-year project has developed approaches to the conservation of rivers in the UK proposed for protection as Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) under the European Habitats and Species Directive. These form part of the Natura 2000 network across the European Union. Outputs of the project include a series of reports collating the best available information on the ecological requirements of each species and habitat, and a complementary set suggesting monitoring techniques; conservation strategies for the seven candidate SAC rivers; and documents reporting the results of field trials of conservation techniques.
