Management
The Broads are administered by the Broads Authority. Special legislation gives the navigation of the waterways equal status with the conservation and public enjoyment of the area.
Specific parts of 'the Broads' have been awarded a variety of conservation designations, for instance:
- Special Protection Area (SPA) status for an area named 'Broadland' composed of 28 Sites of Special Scientific Interest
- Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) status for parts of the Halvergate Marshes
- National Nature Reserve (NNR) status for:
- Bure Marshes NNR
- Ant Broads & Marshes NNR
- Hickling Broad NNR
- Ludham - Potter Heigham NNR
- Redgrave and Lopham Fen
- Martham Broad NNR
- Calthorpe Broad NNR
- Mid-Yare NNR
A specific project being considered under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan is re-introduction of the Large Copper butterfly, whose habitat has been reduced by reduction of fens.
The Broads, although administered by the Broads Authority, give their name to the Broadland local government district, while parts of the Broads also lie within other council areas: North Norfolk, South Norfolk, Norwich and Great Yarmouth (all in Norfolk) and Waveney district in Suffolk.

Famous quotes containing the word management:
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“People have described me as a “management bishop” but I say to my critics, “Jesus was a management expert too.””
—George Carey (b. 1935)
“No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions, or election campaigns. Their right to vote and to express their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. No assessment for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
