The Campaign’s agenda is wide-ranging, covering river basin quality, sustainable waterside regeneration and public engagement across two very large and varied catchments of the Mersey and Ribble.

The work of the Campaign needs to be informed and shaped by evidence and leading edge science, research and thinking. Therefore, active partnerships with the region’s universities and research community are vital – in order to facilitate this understanding. The Campaign uses a number of mechanisms in order to achieve this. These include:

• Supporting and undertaking research projects from student placements to participation in major research projects, such as the ICREW project;
• A Research Advisory Group that facilitates the development of new ideas, new research initiatives and ensuring the Campaign are aware of research outputs and management implications;
• A Research Agenda written and produced by the Research Advisory Group;
• Research events, such as workshops and conferences;
• An online database for research projects focusing upon sustainable water management.
