  • Description:
    The objectives of the project were to demonstrate the benefits of coordinated actions for the environmental management and protection of the catchment areas and estuaries of two rivers in two different countries: Kalamas (Greece) and Lynher (UK). The inter-regional cooperation aimed at the transfer of experience and knowledge on specific topics related to the promotion of integrated management in the project areas. The specific objectives included: • Demonstration of the benefits of coordinated action for the management of the Kalamas river basin. • Development of tools for integrated management: automatic monitoring stations and a simulation model connected to a geographical-based data system - GIS - as well as developing a methodology to incorporate historical monuments in the existing GIS of Cornwall. • Transfer and development of environmental management experience in integrated management through inter-regional cooperation (Epirus and Cornwall). • Awareness raising and participation of farmers for integrated environmental management and development of incentives for farmers in Cornwall. • Support for integrated management through a water quality monitoring programme and local observatories in the prefectures of Thesprotia and Ioannina. • Cooperation with local authorities, educational institutions, and relevant services to address environmental problems. • Application of a pilot model of integrated management of river systems. • Immediate access to environmental information for all stakeholders and services involved in the management of the ecosystems.
