River Basin Management Plan for Scotland 2021-2027 Published

On 22 December, SEPA launched the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) for Scotland 2021-2027, and the and the RBMP for the Solway Tweed River Basin District 2021 update.

The RBMPs are published every six years and are developed and delivered by the Scottish Government, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and other public bodies. The plans are underpinned by scientific evidence and information so that action is targeted where it can have the greatest environmental benefit.

The plans set out a range of actions to address challenges associated with water quality, physical condition, water flows and levels, the migration of wild fish and invasive non-native species.
