Summary:
This award recognizes multi-functional projects that demonstrate the sustainable use of wetland habitats.

To be eligible for the Award, projects must:
• contribute to the delivery of priority UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) species and habitat targets for wetlands
• demonstrate sustainability and delivery of multiple benefits, e.g. flood alleviation, wastewater treatment, recreation, eco-tourism and water resource security
• ensure no priority BAP species or habitats are harmed by the project.

The prize consists of the Mance Memorial Trophy, publicity for the winning scheme, a framed certificate and a cheque for £1,500, which should be used to fund the delivery of further UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) targets, publicity of the project and/or related education. As well as the overall Living Wetlands Award winner, there will be a prize for the best Small Living Wetland. The winners will be announced at the CIWEM World Wetlands Day Conference in February, and the Award will be presented at the CIWEM Annual Dinner in April 2006.
