The Fowey Estuary is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt estuaries in Cornwall with a rich and varied wildlife, landscape and historic heritage. Natural assets, which have developed over many thousands of years, today exist alongside an extensive range of leisure and commercial activities.

The Fowey Estuary Partnership (FEP) was set up in 1997 to meet the need for holistic management of the estuary, balancing the needs of tourism, commerce and leisure interests. The management of the estuary is embodied in the Fowey Estuary Management Plan, developed through extensive consultation and community involvement. The Plan has been fully reviewed in 2003 and represents the Partnership's vision for the management of the Fowey estuary over the next five years to the benefit of all who enjoy the charms and life of the estuary.

The Fowey Estuary is a special place and we hope that all people using it for pleasure or work will help to make sure its natural beauty remains unspoilt.
