Eel Management Plans

Environment & Business - Land and Water.

A European Union Regulation requires member states to produce Eel Management Plans (EMP), in a bid to halt and reverse the decline in eel. The Environment Agency has produced 11 EMPs, covering each of the 11 River Basin Districts in England and Wales. Each plan addresses the causes of decline in eel populations and identifies management actions which are achievable. The measures addressed in the 11 EMPs fall into five broad groups: improving eel passage; Barriers to migration, Monitoring, Access to habitat, Stocking, and Regulating eel Fishing.

环境与商业 - 土地与水域。欧盟一项法规要求成员国制定鲶鱼管理计划（EMP），旨在遏制并扭转鲶鱼种群数量的下降趋势。英国及威尔士的水务局已编制了11份EMP，涵盖英格兰和威尔士的11个流域区域。每一份计划均针对鲶鱼种群数量下降的原因进行分析，并确定了可实现的管理措施。这11份EMP中涉及的措施可归纳为五大类：优化鲶鱼通行条件、解决迁徙障碍、监测、栖息地获取、放流以及规范鲶鱼捕捞活动。
