Exe Estuary Forum 2012

Our Exe Estuary Forum took place on 7th February 2012 and turned out to be a big success with 100 delegates turning up on the evening. We had a number of interesting presentations about projects and news from around the Exe, including the Final Exe Disturbance Study report, tackling Jet Ski issues, a prototype for a new Marine Protected Areas mobile phone application and an introduction to the new Living with a Changing Coast (LiCCo) project.

The Exe Estuary - A Great Place to Live, Work and Play

Located on the south coast of Devon in the UK the Exe Estuary boasts some fantastic features; it is an internationally important site for wildlife, it is the start of the Jurassic Coasts, it has blue flag beaches and it offers countless opportunities to enjoy the Estuary through recreational clubs, bird watching sites and boat trips.

The Exe is a fantastic place to explore by foot, cycle, wheel chair or, for the littler ones, pushchair with miles of pristine cycle paths that reach around the majority of the Estuary and offer some spectacular views. For an informative guide to exploring the Exe Estuary you can download a copy of the Exe Explorer from our leaflets page.

Information is available on this website about all aspects of the estuary, whether you are planning to visit and are looking for somewhere to stay or are interested to find out more about the management of the Exe Estuary.

Under our Local Information page you can find information on the commercial uses of the estuary, the wildlife and habitats on the estuary, the harbour authority, current studies and research taking place and much more.  Check out our Contacts and Links page for information on local businesses, places to stay and eat, and cruises and ferry services

If you would like to add any relevant information to this site then please email the Exe Estuary Officer.  We have a notice board under our News section as well as an events page that we would be happy to add your information to.
