Título:
Cycleau – Integrating research and decision-making for whole river basin management.
Resumo:
The Cycleau project is a large, complex EU-funded project that links regions in Britain, Ireland and France with similar environmental and social issues. It aims to develop a more holistic, generic approach and methodology to whole catchment management by promoting understanding of issues affecting the whole river basin and estuary and working in partnership with all stakeholders to plan and deliver environmental improvements. It will collate quantitative information from a variety of sources and at a variety of scales in order to inform decision-making within catchments. The first step is to interpret and present scientific data in order to inform the community and management of the area. The achievement of longterm sustainable outputs as outlined in the Water Framework Directive will require an integrated approach to presentation of scientific data and true partnership-working to involve the whole community in the decision-making process. Several examples of demonstration projects in Cornwall are presented.
