Membership

We are funded by our members. Members are offered the opportunity to become part of our SEP Management Group, which provides advice and guidance, and oversees the work that the partnership does through regular meetings and communication with the SEP team. Current members include representatives from local authorities and government agencies from across the Severn Estuary area.

Why should you be involved?

It is vital that your interests in the Severn Estuary are represented to ensure the Partnership is truly representative. We want to ensure that all those working in issues relating to the Severn Estuary, its environment and its management are represented. Contact us discuss your involvement and/or membership of SEP, or for more information.
