JNCC Report No. 379 Checklist of fish and invertebrates listed in the CITES appendices and in EC Regulation No. 338/97 7th Edition 2005 compiled by UNEP-WCMC © JNCC 2005 The JNCC is the forum through which the three country conservation agencies - the Countryside Council for Wales, English Nature and Scottish Natural Heritage - deliver their statutory responsibilities for Great Britain as a whole, and internationally. These responsibilities contribute to sustaining and enriching biological diversity, enhancing geological features and sustaining natural systems. As well as a source of advice and knowledge for the public, JNCC is the Government's wildlife adviser, providing guidance on the development of policies for, or affecting, nature conservation in Great Britain or internationally.
