Humber Management Scheme
During 2010 and 2011, the Humber Management Scheme underwent an extensive review of both the management of the Humber Estuary European Marine Site and governance of the Humber Management Scheme. This has resulted in an updated aim, objectives and action plans for management of the Humber Estuary European Marine Site.

1. To manage the estuary to meet the requirements of the conservation objectives
2. To bring people and organisations together to deliver the sustainable management of the Humber Estuary European Marine Site
3. To raise awareness and educate stakeholders about the Humber Estuary European Marine Site and increase participation in its management
4. To identify information gaps and research requirements and to promote sharing and availability of data for the management of the Humber Estuary European Marine Site
5. To ensure a coordinated approach to the management of the estuary and its hinterlands including planning for the future in respect to the features of the Humber Estuary European Marine Site
