We have received some very positive feedback from the landowners on the new cut about the works undertaken and we have completed all feasible work to improve the habitat diversity on this section of the Waveney which will help move this waterbody towards Good Ecological Status. If you know of other locations where river restoration is required or know landowners who are keen to see river habitat enhancements on their land then please let Fisheries and Biodiversity colleagues know. For more information about either of these projects please contact: Will Akast, Environment Agency, Catchment Delivery Manager-Suffolk Will.akast@environment-agency.gov.uk Matt Holden, River Stour Project Officer, Dedham Vale AONB & Stour Valley Project Matt.holden@suffolk.gov.uk Penny Hemphill, Water for Wildlife Officer, Suffolk Wildlife Trust pennyhemphill@suffolkwildlifetrust.org

The Great British Beach Clean—another ‘Outstanding’ success in the Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB! Lynn Allen, Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB The 19th – 22nd September 2014 saw the 21st annual national beach clean organised by The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) which forms the UK contribution to the International Coastal Clean Up, in which 80-100 countries regularly participate. In Suffolk, the effort is co-ordinated by the Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB, under the direction of Countryside Officer, Lynn Allen, who has been leading the annual and year-round Beachwatch schemes in Suffolk since 2005.
