EEMP – Water Quality Perceptions of the Exe Estuary and the Wider Exe Catchment - Devon Water Quality Summit Series

Join the Exe Estuary Management Partnership Water Quality Working Group for a unique webinar bringing together a diverse range of organisations, community groups, and individuals to share their perspectives on water quality across the Exe Estuary and wider Exe Catchment

Through a series of short presentations, speakers will highlight their most significant water quality insights, whether that be current challenges, successful initiatives, emerging opportunities, or practical recommendations for improving water quality across the catchment. By showcasing voices from different sectors and locations, this event aims to provide a broad and balanced picture of the issues and achievements shaping water quality in the Exe today.

The intention is to collate each insight into a cohesive format that captures the current water quality perception of the Exe catchment, which will be taken forward and exhibited at the Devon Water Quality Summit.

This webinar offers an excellent opportunity to learn about the challenges and successes of water quality management and hear from key stakeholders that are promoting the improvement of water quality within the Exe Estuary and wider Exe Catchment.

Attendees are encouraged to submit questions for presenters when registering. Selected questions will be explored during the dedicated Q&A session at the end of the webinar.
