Abstract

This report is a guide for grid references for biological recording. A grid reference specifies a square of land, indicating a location through a series of vertical and horizontal grid lines identified by numbers and letters. The size of the square depends on the length of the grid reference. The report discusses the importance of grid references, finding, reading and accuracy of grid references.
