Baseline Assessment
What they are currently doingWS Atkins management program (April 2001):
Suggested draining of lake in autumn (1.73 in WS Atkins plan)
Feb ‘04 – Jan ‘5: beginning of problem with goldfish Hired Mid Kent Fisheries
Feb ‘06 – Jan ‘07: beginning of QMUL doing piecemeal de-fishingElectro-fishing, seine nets, fyke nets(‘07-’08) Spawning substrate was tried as well
Developing Draft Environmental PolicyGoldfish are invasive species so target is O
Draining outer lake
(possible)
Developing Environmental IndicatorsOdonata population
6 monthly surveys
Goldfish population
Developing an initial draft EMS implementation plan
Artificial spawning substrate
Seine netting Electrofishing Gill nets Fyke netting
Education for local residents
Incentives for fishermen
