What these records mean
NFPD parent explicitly identifies the Medway main river; site coordinates run continuously from the upper Medway to Maidstone.
Survey methods, effort, locations and coverage vary. Monitoring coordinates are rounded and do not indicate public access. Counts are not population trends.
