The Sea in the City
Date: Tuesday 6 June 2006
Venue: Fishmongers' Hall, London EC4R 9EL
This conference sought to start the largest public environmenal debate since the National Parks Legislation. With the environmental management of the non-tidal Thames historically secured through the River Thames Alliance and the Environment Agency's Waterways Plan, it's time to focus on the Tidal Challenge. The tidal Thames has no overall environmental manager and no environmental designation, so what hope the future?
Principal speakers included:
Port of London Authority
Greater London Assembly
Environment Agency
London Development Agency
British Marine Federation
Terry Farrell Partnership
Sub-Regional Partnerships
River users... and many more
This conference followed on from our successful one in 2004.
