What contribution does the Dee CMP make to European Directives e.g. Water Framework Directive (WFD) and Habitats Directive?
Objectives that contribute to the obligations of the Water Framework and Habitats Directives – preventing deterioration, meeting ‘good ecological status’ and returning populations of SAC qualifying species to ‘favourable conservation status’- are central to the Dee CMP. These include generalised actions, such as those aimed at reducing diffuse source pollution, as well as area- and species-specific objectives. Actions relating to sustainable flow management will also contribute to the implementation of the EU Floods Directive.
