List of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Cambridgeshire

List of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Cambridgeshire

__NOTOC__This is a list of the Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) in the county of Cambridgeshire, England, United Kingdom. In England the body responsible for designating SSSIs is Natural England, which chooses a site because of its fauna, flora, geological or physiographical features. [cite web | title=Notification of SSSIs | work=English Nature | url=http://www.english-nature.org.uk/special/sssi/notification.cfm | accessdate=2008-03-24] Natural England uses Cambridgeshire's borders to mark one of its Areas of Search. As of 2008, there are 101 sites designated in this Area of Search . [cite web | title=SSSIs in Cambridgeshire | work=English Nature | url=http://www.english-nature.org.uk/special/sssi/searchresults.cfm?sssi_name=&frmcounty=1005 | accessdate=2008-03-24]

Natural England took over the role of designating and managing SSSIs from English Nature in October 2006 when it was formed from the amalgamation of English Nature, parts of the Countryside Agency and the Rural Development Service. Natural England, like its predecessor, uses the 1974-1996 county system [cite web | title=County search of SSSIs | work=English Nature | url=http://www.english-nature.org.uk/Special/sssi/search.cfm | accessdate=2006-08-05] and as such the same approach is followed here. The data in the table is taken from English Nature in the form of citation sheets for each SSSI."English Nature" citation sheets for each SSSI. Retrieved on 2008-03-24. (PDF files).
