Medway Action Plan

To achieve our shared Vision for the Medway, the Partnership have created a Catchment Plan which you can explore below. This plan outlines the Aims, Objectives and Actions required to achieve our shared Vision, restoring the River Medway and all its tributaries back to health.

Our Aims:

The river should support a mosaic of habitats with high biodiversity value
To have an appropriate self-sustaining fish population
To restore the river to a more naturally functioning watercourse
To improve water quality
To develop sustainable water management within the catchment
To have communities that enjoy, engage with and protect the river
