Title: Rivers Axe and Lim catchment management plan : consultation report
Author: National Rivers Authority South West Region
Document Type: Monograph
Abstract:
This Catchment Management Plan covers a total area of approximately 443 km2 and comprises the catchments of the Rivers Axe and Lim which drain to the sea at the coastal resorts of Seaton and Lyme Regis respectively. This area is subsequently referred to as the Axe and Lim Catchment, or the catchment. The catchment straddles three counties, Devon, Dorset and Somerset and is mainly populated with isolated farmsteads, hamlets, villages and a few small towns with a total population of approximately 40,000. The population density is well below the average for Devon as a whole, although many more visit during the summer months. This report: describes how the catchment is used; and identifies problems in the catchment and proposes actions to resolve them where possible.
