Areas of Search (AOSs) are geographical areas used in the selection of Sites of Special Scientific Interest.1 In England these are largely based on the 1974-1996 administrative counties (with larger counties divided into two or more areas), whereas in Scotland and Wales they are based around districts.1 The individual AOSs are between 400 km2 and 4,000 km2 in size.1 There are 59 AOSs in England, 12 in Wales, and 44 in Scotland.2
