The LFCC invites you to attend a consultation workshop on one or two days in September/October 2011. Please respond with your availability to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Agenda can be found here.

Time:                         09:00 to 16:30

Date 1:           Saturday 24 September 2011   Risley Memorial Hall

Date 2:           Tuesday 4 October 2011          Dinton Pastures Country Park

Workshop aim: to ensure the views of people with an interest in fisheries and conservation in the Loddon catchment are represented in an agreed integrated action plan. This plan may be used for a variety of purposes from linking Water Framework Directive actions, development of site fisheries management plans to attracting funds required to deliver larger scale or cumulative fisheries and conservation projects.

Workshop objectives:

• raise awareness of WFD issues in the Loddon catchment
• plot issues at a location (s) on large scale maps of waters in the Loddon catchment (stillwaters, rivers and streams, Basingstoke Canal)
• cluster issues into generic problems or opportunities e.g. diffuse pollution or habitat degradation
• identify WFD issues and Loddon Consultative issues
• prioritise actions into short, medium and long term
• provide the platform for the draft LFCAP

LFCAP benefits – why take part?

• 1) Help secure a better environment for people and wildlife
• 2) Deliver an agreed integrated action plan for fisheries and conservation in the Loddon catchment from 2011 onwards
• 3) Deliver Water Framework Directive objectives to achieve good ecological status/potential
• 4) Give communities a useful reference for projects, research/monitoring and management
• 5) Provide an effective means to secure future funding
• 6) Take advantage of a tool box of techniques to address your fisheries and conservation issues

What to do next?

• · Respond  with your availability on both days as we need to book a venue large enough and plan sufficient helpers

• · Consult with friends, colleagues or partners on what issues and opportunities affect fisheries and conservation in the Loddon catchment

• · Attend one or two LFCC workshops on 24 September or 4 October 2011 and get your views recorded
