The costs of wetland centres include the staff, maintenance and other costs associated with managing the visitor
centres, grounds, reserves and caring for the birds at the nine UK wetland centres. We manage over 2,600 hectares
including one Area of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI), seven Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), six Special
Protection Areas (SPAs) and six Ramsar sites. Also included are the central costs of designing and developing new
exhibits at centres. The restricted support costs consist of depreciation on restricted capital assets.
