The Changing Status of Freshwater Biodiversity in the UK
Online surveys is a powerful, easy to use tool for creating online surveys. Run by Jisc, online surveys is used by over 300 different organisations in the UK...

We are gathering views on the current state of freshwater monitoring in the UK (scales, focal species & pressures).
If you work in these areas, we'd love to capture your views: app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/ceh-online...

Long-term monitoring tells a story of change. For 80 years scientists have monitored Windermere and nearby lakes in Cumbria, tracking how climate change and pollution are reshaping our freshwater ecosystems.
It’s one of the longest lake datasets anywhere in the world! 🌎
