Abstract
Monitoring European native crayfish populations as indicators of biodiversity is an important tool in environmental management. The proposed network would emphasise knowledge-based management strategies and a common European approach to management techniques; it would also develop the links between researchers, managers and sustainable policies for development through rural agencies and regional programmes such as Interreg, Leader...As the programme is based on fundamental scientific knowledge it would be also have relevance to theme area2.2.3 Assessing and Conserving Biodiversity. The programme structure comprises two successive phases:%L(1) the link from science to management, as initiated during a congress in Poitiers (September 2001) and%L(2) further links to economic development.
