The
Crustacean Deaths Collaborative Working Group is an informal forum,
allowing local partner Councils to form a joint response to the
mass mortality crustacean event that occurred in late
2021.
The key aims of the working
group are as follows:
1.
To consider evidence from various sources, including
written reports and presentations from expert witnesses and
stakeholders, to better understand:
o
The reasons for the event
o
The impact it has had on local
communities
o
The response of key partners
o
Recommendations for future actions
2.
To consider and make recommendations to partner
authorities and government agencies, including future meetings of
the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
(EFRA) Committee or any other
investigation into the issue.
