The Environment Agency has launched a series of consultations outlining flood defences in England and Wales
BASC is calling on wildfowlers to respond to the Environment Agency‘s consultations on Shoreline Management Plans (SMPs), which cover numerous wildfowling areas in England and Wales.
At the Government body’s annual conference, held on 10 November, plans for the next five years were announced. They include building new flood defences, maintaining existing ones, continuing to restrict development on flood plains and creating new wetland and coastal habitats to prevent flooding.
