Analysing surveillance needs and coverage – using the Surveillance Framework

 

The Surveillance Framework (see below) contains a full analysis of each of the three surveillance objectives.  This document is still being developed, and is used to provide the summary information on the objectives in the Surveillance Strategy (July 2008 version).  Updating this framework will also lead to an update to the Surveillance Strategy.  Eventually the Framework will be based on an analysis of surveillance need against a range of policies and reporting obligations.  So far, the analyses of Chemical Impacts on Biodiversity and Supporting UKBAP Species and Habitat Reporting have been completed and incorporated into the Framework.   The Assessment of the Surveillance Rationale and Objectives also contributes to the analysis of the Framework.
