Project summary
Hoveton Great Broad is situated between the villages of Hoveton and Horning, immediately adjacent to the River Bure in the heart of the Broads. It is designated under the Habitats and Birds Directives and the RAMSCAR Convention on Wetlands of International Importance. The lake has poor plant growth and excessive sediment deposits. This acts as a source of phosphorus which causes algal growth and poor ecology. The quality of the river water has improved over recent years and is now able to support the lake restoration. None of the 21 lakes in the Broadland catchment meet good WFD status. This project will help inform future lake measures in this internationally important wetland.
Monitoring surveys and results
Technically robust information available to inform the Hoveton Wetlands Restoration Project, increased understanding of the wider implications of the project on Broad fisheries status as a whole. Benefits include angler participation and support for the restoration projects.
Lessons learnt
We can provide data to NE to support and inform restoration works. We will continue to work with partners to improve WFD status.
