<p>Since 2013 Natural England has adopted a risk based approach to the frequency of
monitoring sites, which varies according to a range of factors such as risk to the
site and the stability of its ecology.</p><p> </p><p>Natural England continues to
support and encourage its partners and major owners of sites of specific scientific
interest (SSSI) in the work they do on SSSI monitoring. Natural England is also developing
its approach to the monitoring of SSSIs, including use of new technologies such as
remote sensing and greater partnership involvement. This work will form part of Natural
England’s continued risk based approach to decide how frequently a site should be
monitored and is intended to improve efficiency of SSSI monitoring.</p><p> </p>
