    I've given it just a quick skim, looks fascinating. Many hours will be spent pondering some of the results.

    Thanks for posting.

    Serious amount of work involved with fieldwork, analysis, report prep and presention, result interpretation etc.

    Like a lot of surveys, they are a snapshot on a given day(s), and may not represent the typical behaviour of say a lake on a season to season basis.

    Massive undertaking though and a huge amount of hard slog to produce that report.

    You can find all the detailed surveys here. Lakes/rivers are surveyed every 3 years so if you look at the 2012 survey for a lake go back to 2009 to view the comparable one taken then

    That's right. The 2013 round of sampling are ongoing too.
