The Anglian River Basin District covers almost 28,000 km2 from Lincolnshire in the north to Essex in the south, and Northamptonshire in the west to the East Anglian coast. In total over 7.1 million people live and work within the district. The Anglian River Basin District is a key tourist destination, particularly for water recreation with a significant number of visits by boaters, beach goers and anglers. The Norfolk Broads is the largest protected wetland in Britain and has an estimated economic value of £200 million per year. It is crucial to the economy of the district. The river basin district is the richest region in the UK for wetland wildlife. Freshwater habitats within the district are very important for wintering wildfowl and our reservoirs and watercourses support important fisheries. Approximately 80% of England’s resource of lowland fen occurs here, including the largest expanse of lime-rich fens. Most of the estuaries and coast of the region are internationally designated. About one-fifth of the river basin district is susceptible to coastal or inland flooding. The Wash is a vital area for over wintering birds and has been designated as a European Marine Site.
