## Notice

CEH has been carrying out monitoring on Cumbrian lakes for many years, gathering and holding a huge data body on the health of our regions lakes. Long-term data give us the power to detect and attribute the causes of environmental change, and to provide insights into how lakes function. Lakes are excellent systems for developing and testing new hypotheses and ecological theories. Our long-term lake monitoring data are now supplemented by high-frequency data collections that provide almost real-time information on lake condition and function, which is particularly valuable for lake modelling. This project enables the continued monitoring of Derwent Water and Bassenthwaite Lake SSSI's for the duration of 2017/18 financial year. This will enable the continuation of data collection which is used to determine the health and condition of these two SSSI's.
