List Of Sites Of Special Scientific Interest In West Sussex

This is a list of the Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) in West Sussex, a county in South East England.

As of 2009, there are 78 sites designated within this Area of Search, of which have been designated for their biological interest, 19 for their geological interest, and 5 for both biological and geological interest.

In England, the body responsible for designating SSSIs is Natural England, which selects sites because of their flora, fauna, geological or physiographical features. Natural England took over the role of designating and managing SSSIs from English Nature in October 2006 when it was formed from the amalgamation of English Nature, parts of the Countryside Agency and the Rural Development Service.

The data in this table is taken from Natural England's website in the form of citation sheets for each SSSI.

    Janet Frame (b. 1924)

    All is possible,
    Who so list believe;
    Trust therefore first, and after preve,
    As men wed ladies by license and leave,
    All is possible.
