Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Although the Keer is currently in good ecological condition diffuse agricultural pollution remains a major issue, and migratory fish populations have shown very sharp declines.

This project is aimed at improving habitat and ensuring that there is no deterioration in condition, by minimising erosion, sedimentation and diffuse pollution. Working with farmers and landowners at least 1,000 metres of riparian buffer strips up to 10 metre wide on demonstration sites will be establish using HLS or EWGS as appropriate.

Community Involvement - Engagement activities will include public consultations, practical volunteering activities like beach cleans, and tree planting, and awareness-raising through media and face-to-face contact.
