Area of Focus for the Exe Estuary Partnership
The Partnership seeks to conserve and enhance the estuary’s special nature and promote sustainable economic and social activity by supporting collaboration between different interests and helping to address any conflicts as they arise, to ensure that activities are balanced and complementary.
The EEMP, which has been in place since 1995, takes an impartial approach, to help ensure that there is a balance between human use and the protected nature of the Exe. The work of the partnership is guided by the Exe Estuary Management Plan. Local communities are engaged through annual public forums.
