2024-25 Tales from an East Anglian Riverbank - Portfolio - Page 3
Introduction
This review highlights the key achievements from our 2024/25
East Anglia Area Environment Programme and shows how the
projects 昀椀t with our Local Priori琀椀es. The successful delivery of
the Environment Programme owes a great deal to our many
Partners, including the CaBA partnerships, Rivers Trusts, Wildlife
Trusts, community groups and other third sector organisa琀椀ons,
Natural England, Broads Authority, local authori琀椀es and water
companies.
We are also indebted to colleagues within the Environment
Agency without whom none of this would be possible. These
include; Flood & Coastal Risk Management; Partnerships &
Strategic Overview; and Legal and Procurement teams, and in
par琀椀cular Fisheries, Biodiversity and Geomorphology who o昀昀er
direct support to partners and their projects and deliver WEIF
and FIP projects too.
CATCHMENT BASED APPROACH
The Catchment Based Approach [CaBA] is at the heart of the Environment
Programme. Our Catchment Delivery teams facilitate collabora琀椀ve working
with CaBA Catchment Partnerships, developing opportuni琀椀es to create our
programme of projects to the point of delivery, ge琀�ng the best outcomes
for the environment. They connect people internally and externally to
ensure this collabora琀椀on is sustained and strengthened. Integral to this is
the delivery of the Water Environment Improvement Fund programme
which maximises the environmental outcomes we deliver through
partnership and innova琀椀ve ways of working.
