South West Earth Chattering

South West Earth Chattering helps us communicate and work together to improve our local rivers, estuaries and coastal waters.

In the South West we have a target to get 43% of our waterbodies to good ecological status by 2015.  We need everyone to join in to help meet this target.  No matter how small your involvement is - it still counts. This is your opportunity to see what the Environment Agency feel are the local problems that need addressing - do you agree or do you feel it is something else that has been overlooked until now? 

By clicking on the pins in the following Google Map, you can download briefing notes about the pressures facing your local water environment.  Tell us what you think?

Please note - This is not a formal way to contact the Environment Agency.

We are compiling an interactive map that will plot the good work that is underway in Devon and Cornwall.  Whether you are an organisation, land owner or member of the public, share your ideas and thoughts.

Our Earth Chattering Map is best viewed in Google Maps, click here to go to a larger version of South West Earth Chattering map (opens in a separate window).   You can also view all the briefing papers here.
