About

Defra awarded a contract to WSP Environment & Infrastructure Solutions UK Ltd for a rapid literature review on the impacts of anthropogenic aquatic pressures on biodiversity.

The review synthesizes qualitative and quantitative evidence on how physical modifications, pollution, sediment, altered hydrological regimes, management practices (e.g., aquatic plant and fisheries management), invasive non-native species, and climate change affect species abundances and extinction risk in rivers, lakes, ponds, estuarine, and coastal waters.

It also identifies gaps in the evidence base to inform the delivery of Environment Act targets for species.

The contract value is £45,954.67.
