The Severn Estuary Forum is a key annual event in its eighth year and hosted by the Severn Estuary Partnership: an independent, estuary-wide initiative, involving all those interested in the management of the estuary, from planners to port authorities, fishermen to farmers. This year’s Forum was opened by the Lord Mayor of Gloucester and supported by CIWEM. It focussed on a number of diverse topics, including the upper estuary; renewable energy possibilities; a review of the Severn Estuary Flood Risk Management Strategy; an overview of the operations and maintenance of the Severn River Crossings; Local Enterprise Partnerships; The Bristol Deep Sea Container Terminal; proposals for a Severnside Airport and Fisheries amongst others. These engaging and exciting events are intended for all interested in learning about the latest research and policy developments dealing with the Severn Estuary and its future, and always guarantee a lively and informative day of presentations and talks. They offer a unique opportunity to learn from others, share ideas and participate in the management of the Severn Estuary.

How do you measure effectiveness – cause and effect? 6. Are you sufficiently ambitious – do you have a vision? Severn Estuary Partnership 2013 Brian Shipman

Notes de l'éditeur
- A Sustainable Severn? …Its all about Governance Present you with an alternative model which may at first seem distant and exotic – but holds some interesting messages for the UK and the Severn – lift you out of your comfort zone.Finally – like a “critical friend”, or maybe an OFSTED inspector, present you with some self-assessment questions to see how “Sustainability Ready” you are.and my 10 word “solution”First about Me and this thing called Coastal Zone Management
- over 25 years experience at local authority levelChaired CoastNETSet up TECEF, and many othersWorked with many European regions and the EU Commission on ICZMTHIS IS MY INSTANT CHARACTERISATION OF COASTAL MANAGEMENT IN THE UK…
- NOT EXCLUSIVELY INVOLVED IN COASTAL MANAGEMENT… Exciting economic regeneration programmes – different perspectiveAnd this is my sceptics view of why it wasn’t working… list….Disillusioned and frustrated seen partnerships struggle and fail the weak EU recommendation and the lukewarm UK government responseLeft the field of coastal management until in 2009 I received an offer I couldn’t refuse… (and not because of the money!!!)
- over 20 years experience based in CornwallFounded and Chaired CoastNETSet up TECEF, and many others. Disillusioned and frustrated. Seen partnerships struggle and fail, the weak EU recommendation, and the lukewarm UK government response - but not before committing my thoughts to paper.Left the field of coastal management in mid noughties until 2009 when I received an offer I couldn’t refuse… (and not because of the money!!!)
- as EU was approving the soft Recommendation
- United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) established a framework for the development of binding greenhouse gas emission limits, while the Kyoto Protocol contained the specific provisions and regulations later agreed upon.

- So, what is the way to sustainability?I don’t have a magic formula , my solution is more prosaic. “Mao – 1000 mile = 1st step - I believe its all about taking the right first step.Creating the right enabling frameworkapologies to the environmentalists, above all to the sectoral managersapologies to policy makers…THEREFORE probably offend most of this audience.. YOU ALL WANT TO BE PARTNERS - BUT WE DON’T WANT TO GIVE UP ANY OF YOUR HARD WON POWERS OR STATUS10 words… and it’s having the right mind set
