The Severn Estuary Partnership (SEP) works to facilitate communication across organizations and embed sustainable practices regarding the Severn Estuary. The SEP aims to act as a coordinating body for agreed estuary-wide actions. It also promotes public awareness of the estuary and identifies gaps in estuary management. The SEP provides a contacts database, publications, and secretariat support. It organizes forums and projects related to integrated coastal zone management, climate change adaptation, and knowledge sharing with other European estuaries.
