Priority Pond Assessment (PASS)
Volunteers are helping us to identify potential priority ponds. Get involved and complete a Priority Pond Assessment (PASS) survey to support national efforts to map more of these vital wildlife habitats.
The Priority Pond Assessment (PASS) system has been developed to provide a way to rapidly identify whether a pond is likely to qualify as a priority pond.
The system uses physical variables, such as the land use around the pond, to predict whether the pond would be likely to have priority status if it was surveyed using the biological criteria traditionally used to identify priority ponds.
