Fully integrated catchment management planning Catchment Advice Template and Exchange II (CATCH-II). This project established a common understanding of the activities and objectives of integrated catchment management (ICM) projects and policy-makers/implementers in Scotland. It used the knowledge and experience of established ICM projects to identify opportunities and challenges to delivering Scotland’s policy commitments to water management at the catchment-level. Key messages have been disseminated to ICM policy makers, agencies and practitioners in Scotland, in the UK, and to international audiences via the HELP basin network.
The project was carried out by a team from the James Hutton Institute, University of Dundee, and University of the Highlands and Islands - Scottish Association for Marine Science and was completed in December 2012.
