A meeting on Areas For Action on Kerry Waterways to take place tonight (Wednesday).
A PUBLIC information and feedback session on the ‘Areas for Action’ for Kerry’s waterways will take place in the Rose Hotel in Tralee tonight, Wednesday, October 18 at 7pm.
The draft River Basin Management Plan 2018 – 2021 was published in February 2017, for a six-month public consultation period.
During this time the Local Authority Waters and Communities Office (LAWCO) convened a series of meetings to engage with communities and other stakeholders.
The comments received will now be considered in preparing the final River Basin Management Plan to be published in early 2018.
In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency, Kerry County Council and other public authorities have engaged in Catchment Assessment Workshops throughout during 2016 and 2017 to characterise water bodies and assess pressures on river, lake, coastal, transitional and groundwater water bodies.
In every county ‘Areas for Action’ were identified using the scientific, technical and local knowledge of the relevant agencies. Maps of these areas are available to be viewed at http://watersandcommunities.ie/areas-for-action/.
The information session to facilitate engagement and feedback on Kerry’s ‘Areas for Actions’ will take place at the Rose Hotel in Tralee, tonight, Wednesday at 7.00pm. A similar meeting is being held in each county.
Such late notice in a paper. Hope people can attend as sounds very important for Kerry.
