From 1 March to 30 September 2021 inclusive, the Marine Environment Service of the FPS Public Health is organising a public consultation on the draft “coastal water management plan for Belgian coastal waters”. The general public has the opportunity to give its opinion on this plan, which the public authorities can then take into account when drawing up the final plan.
This management plan for the Belgian coastal waters has been drawn up in accordance with the Water Framework Directive, which was approved by the European Union in 2000. The aim of this directive is to achieve and maintain good status for all water bodies (rivers, lakes, coastal and transitional waters and groundwater). The management of Belgian coastal waters is the responsibility of the Belgian federal authority.
More information, the draft plan and instructions for submitting comments can be found at www.consult-leefmilieu.be (Dutch) or www.consult-environnement.be (French).
