In 1988, the Nature Conservancy Council initiated its Estuaries Review, a project intended to analyse the current status and threats to Britain's estuarine resources. The results of the survey are presented in this volume, which covers all aspects of the estuarine ecosystem and its flora and fauna, gives the locations and classifications of British estuaries, their conservation status, human activities affecting them, and management guidelines for their protection. This important document should provide the basis for a future estuarine conservation strategy. Includes a free copy of Estuaries Wildlife and Man: A Summary of Nature Conservation and Estuaries in Great Britain. [#21043]
