Fisheries of The Severn Estuary Session Chair: Nicola Teague, APEM Ltd Elizabeth Ross Devon and Severn IFCA Nigel Milner APEM Ltd Miran Aprahamian APEM / IFM Zooming out: A wider perspective of the Severn Estuary fish assemblage and implications for renewable energy developments. Salmon populations in the Severn estuary and its rivers, potential interactions with tidal power schemes, gaps in knowledge and the ways that they could be filled. What we know and what we don t know about twaite shad in the Severn Estuary in relation to predicting the impact of tidal power schemes Mike Morris Severn Rivers Trust Unlocking the Severn Break Open Discussion Setting the Scene Adam Kennerley Severn Vision Severn Vision; exploring how the Severn estuary becomes a natural powerhouse, where development is planned and managed in a way that sustains and enhances the estuary s natural resources. 19:30 Conference Dinner at the Coldra Court Hotel This is a three course dinner with wine cooked by the excellent team at the Coldra Court Hotel.
