  11. Key Messages • Each sector has a contribution to make in terms of delivering WFD/ICM objectives. • Need to ensure a fair, proportional response from each sector • Decisions – including POMs – need to be sustainable and based on good science • Opportunity to review and improve POMs based on on-going research as past of RBMP cycle CSC 6 February 2008

  12. Summary • ICM is high on the radar, but needs careful consideration • Integrated data is needed for regulatory requirements, RBMP’s, POM’s, CFMP’s, Water Cycle Strategies • Integrated data is complex! DSS can help, but need to be applied carefully • Increased conceptual understanding of potentially fragile, but less well understood systems (e.g. hyporheic zone will help • Such data will guide revisions to RBMP’s, investment decisions and help operational planning CSC 6 February 2008
