		Much of the Broad is only about 1.2 m deep, but despite this, it forms one of the most popular sites in the region, being visited by large numbers of holiday cruisers (which because of their deeper draught have to keep to the central, marked channel) as well as smaller vessels.
		Hickling Broad and its surrounding fens and marshes has long been renowned for the richness and variety of its bird and plant life, and is part owned, and part leased by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust.
		The Team also noted that..."the (Hickling) broad ecosystem will probably continue to change towards a lower nutrient, more botanically diverse state, albeit slowly", and it forecast that the clear water conditions which had, to the delight of conservationists, developed in the Broad during the summer of 1999 were likely to be repeated in subsequent years.

	Hickling Broad Refuge Map and Code (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Hickling like Horsey is a much larger expanse of water and has for many years lured pike anglers from afar who have the considered opinion that this large fishery has the potential to produce a record breaking pike.
		Without doubt this Broad has the capabilities of producing such fish but it is not an easy venue due to its exposure to the elements which make angling difficult for those of limited ability.

		The Agency was alerted to the presence of dead fish in Hickling Broad, Norfolk, on Thursday 22 May. Agency officers estimate that approximately 1000 fish have died, predominantly small roach but with some larger bream and pike.
		The cause of the problem is currently under investigation but it is likely that it is a result of natural factors including lowered dissolved oxygen levels in the Catfield area and the presence of a potentially toxic algae called Prymnesium parvum.
		This species tolerates salty waters such as that in Hickling Broad, and can produce toxic substances that are known to effect gill breathing animals such as fish.
