A meeting organised in early April by the SES brought together English Nature, the Countryside Council for Wales, the Environment Agency, the Severn Estuary Conservation Group (SECG) and biodiversity representatives from local authorities. A review of Local Biodiversity Action Plans (LBAP) around the Severn estuary is currently being undertaken by the SECG. Once this review has been completed, the SES intends to bring together all LBAP officers from around the Estuary to discuss overlaps and gaps between the plans.
With this information, an overarching estuary-wide biodiversity action plan can be drafted that identifies areas where work needs to be undertaken.
