We are excited to announce that the EEMP Autumn Forum will be taking place this autumn.
We are pleased to invite you to the Exe Estuary Management Partnership Autumn Forum, taking place on:
Monday 29 September 2025 PM at Ocean, Exmouth: Full agenda to follow
This year’s forum will feature two interactive workshops:
🔹 Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRS) – LNRS are a new, statutory tool introduced under the Environment Act 2021. They aim to map out local priorities for nature recovery and identify the best places to take action, such as restoring habitats, creating wildlife corridors, or improving land management. We would really value your input as we explore how these strategies can shape estuarine and coastal priorities in our region.
🔹 Codes of Conduct – A chance to reflect on all existing codes and how they are working in practice. This is especially timely as we are currently developing a new code in partnership with South East Devon Wildlife, focused on personal aircraft use on the Exe Estuary.
The forum also coincides with the start of the Voluntary Wildlife Refuge season on the Exe Estuary:
- Exmouth Wildlife Refuge: Active from 15 September to 31 December, protecting vital eelgrass beds for over wintering birds like Brent Geese and Wigeon.
The forum is a great opportunity to connect, collaborate, and contribute to the future of our shared marine and estuarine spaces.
More details and registration information coming soon, but for now, please mark your calendars!
