What does the AAG do?

The main role of the AAGs is to assist and contribute to river basin management planning in the district. They are responsible for producing Area Management Plans; the ‘geographic chapters’ of the river basin plan for the district.
 
The groups advise on and support:

• the development of river basin planning in the area;
  
  
• the preparation, delivery and implementation of the Area Management Plan for the area;
  
  
• the identification of priorities for environmental improvement and protection;
  
  
• the measures required to deliver environmental improvement and protection within the area;
  
  
• the setting of environmental objectives for the area;
  
  
• SEPA, the Environment Agency and national advisory groups, as required.
