South West River Basin District Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment
South West river basin district Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment March 2016 Executive summary The Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for the South West River Basin District (RBD) provides an overview of the range of flood risks from different sources across the 9 catchments of the RBD. The RBD catchments are defined in the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) and based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.). The FRMP provides a range of objectives and programmes of measures identified to address risks from all flood sources. These are drawn from the many risk management authority plans already in place but also include a range of further strategic developments for the FRMP ‘cycle’ period of 2015 to 2021. The total numbers of measures for the South West RBD FRMP are reported under the following types of flood management action: Types of flood management measures % of RBD measures Prevention – e.g. land use policy, relocating people at risk etc. 21 % Protection – e.g. various forms of asset or property-based protection 54% Preparedness – e.g. awareness raising, forecasting and warnings 21% Recovery and review – e.g. the ‘after care’ from flood events 1% Other – any actions not able to be categorised yet 3% The purpose of the HRA is to report on the likely effects of the FRMP on the network of sites that are internationally designated for nature conservation (European sites), and the HRA has been carried out at the level of detail of the plan. Many measures do not have any expected physical effects on the ground, and have been screened out of consideration including most of the measures under the categories of Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery and Review. -
Bibliographical References on the Bryophyte Flora of the Canary Islands (1740-2006)
References on bryophytes from the Canary Islands 1 Bibliographical references on the bryophyte flora of the Canary Islands (1740-2006) A. Losada-Lima1, S. Rodríguez-Núñez1 & G.M. Dirkse2 1 Corresponding author: [email protected] 2 [email protected] Abstract: A compilation of 427 bibliographical references on bryophytes from Canary Islands is presented. In order to include all the information dealing with Canarian bryoflora, we have listed all references that record any data on this subject. Introduction The literature about the bryophytes of the Canary Islands is dispersed in reports, journals and books. From the XVIII century onwards, numerous works on bryophytes from the Canary Islands have been published by travelers, scientists, naturalists and botanists. Many authors have reported about bryophytes collected by them. Some specialists reported about material which was sent to them by amateurs for identification. The interest in the bryophyte flora of the Canary Islands has lead to numerous descriptions of new taxa. The objective of this work is to provide an up to date bibliography of taxonomic, geographic, ecological, phylogenetic books, papers, reports, and other printings concerning bryophytes of the Canary Islands. Incorporated are publications in which bryophytes are mentioned in connection with the Canary Islands. In all, 427 references are listed, of which slightly more than 25% has its focus on bryophytes from the Canary Islands. Although the literature was extensively searched and the list was carefully compiled, errors or omissions may occur. Corrections, additions, as well as new references are welcomed by the corresponding author. ARCHIVE FOR BRYOLOGY 24 (2007) 2 Losada-Lima, Rodríguez-Núñez & Dirkse List of references Ade, A. -

Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management
Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management. -

Due to the definitions of rurality used by DEFRA the town of Saltash is excluded from the above area and is therefore not eligible to benefit from LEADER Funding.) Signed on behalf of the South and East Cornwall Local Action Group by: Kim Spencer… Date…4th September 2014 Shadow Chair The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership has put locally led economic development at the heart of its Strategic Economic Plan. This Local Development Strategy for LEADER funding in the South and East Cornwall area is our contribution to delivering the LEPs overall objectives and should be considered as part of the overall Strategic Economic Plan and Growth Deal delivery framework for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
