SUSSEX OTTERS AND RIVERS PARTNERSHIP (SORP)

SORP is a unique partnership, working towards the sustainable management of river landscapes, and the restoration of wetland habitats for both people and wildlife.

SORP works with local people to help restore multi-functional wetlands and washlands , and to assist the recovery of endangered wetland species such as the otter , water vole and black poplar tree .

The partnership works to promote an integrated landscape-scale approach to the management of water resources, in a more naturally functioning landscape which utilises the services provided freely by natural wetland systems. These include sustainable flood defence, wildlife and natural resources, improved water quality & water supply, and access benefits.

This site provides free advice and information on a number of wetland issues and subjects. Water is an essential natural resource - Help us to help you understand, enhance and enjoy it!
