Flagship Ponds are a sub-set of about 1% of the Priority Ponds.
Flagship Ponds are Priority Ponds of particular value because they support BAP species, very rich assemblages and/or are important pond types. They can be individual pond sites or a pond complex.
The aim is to work directly with Flagship sites to ensure that they are monitored and their quality is maintained. This will ensure that the sites do not degrade. It will also provide information about threats to high-quality sites and effective means of mitigation.
The aim is to make sure that Flagship Pond sites are monitored and have a local guardian who will liase with landowners, carry out high-level monitoring and where appropriate provide a link with specialist advisers.
