Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), and Ramsar sites are designated on the basis of notified features of interest. These features of interest may be particular habitats or vegetation types, particular species, or particular geological or geomorphological features. Site Condition Monitoring (SCM) is a ten-year rolling programme of assessment, against quality standards, of the state of notified features of interest on designated sites.
