Scottish Coastal Forum: Current ICZM initiatives: Spring 2004
WESTERN ISLES COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT FORUM
The Western Isles Coastal Zone Management Forum was set up in June 2002. The Forum comprises a wide range of organisations interested in the coastal zone, which covers about 1500 miles of coastline.
At its first meeting the Forum established a Coastal Zone Management Plan Steering Group with 15 members to oversee the development of a Management Plan for the coastline of the Western Isles.
The Group is co-ordinating a number of activities including a Harbour Development Plan for Loch Roag and the monitoring of coastal erosion at Liniclete.
The previous Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Environmental Services Committee have been re-elected and are very keen to see the development of this Group.
The Comhairle has identified some resources for putting towards the appointment of a Project Manager and the Group will be contacting other agencies for assistance.
