About
The Suffolk Coastal operational catchment includes the natural surface water catchments of the rivers: Lothingland, Easton Broad, Wang, Blyth, Leiston Beck & Minsmere Old River, Fromus, Hundred and Alde & Ore, Butley, Tang, and Black Ditch. The catchment is mainly rural with numerous small towns and villages scattered throughout the area. It is one of the driest parts of the country, with local rainfall typically only two-thirds of the national average. The importance of this coastal catchment for biodiversity is recognised by its many wildlife designations including Ramsar sites, SPAs, SACs, NNR and SSSIs
