Because of the many benefits that inland waterways can deliver, a coordinated approach to their management and development is required, linked to the wider sustainable development of the regions through which they pass. How this can be best done is the aim of an EU-funded project Waterways Forward. The final conference was held to present insights for exploring and exploiting the great potential of these waterways for economic development and employment in line with Europe 2020 strategic objectives. A set of policy recommendations was agreed which it is hoped will be taken forward by EU policy makers. These can be viewed online.
