Loweswater Care Project researchers [1]respond to the Environment Agency's UK Water Framework Directive Draft River Basin Management Plans, stressing the need for the EA to take a stronger and clearer commitment to working collaboratively with a broader range of interests and organisations at the catchment level, rather than just limited engagement at a regional level.

[1] The researchers of the LCP are Ken Bell (Community Researcher), Stephen Maberly (CEH, Lancaster), Lisa Norton (CEH, Lancaster), Judith Tsouvalis (Lancaster University), Nigel Watson (Lancaster University) and Claire Waterton (Lancaster University).
