 Environment Agency
The Environment Agency
(EA) employ over 10,000 people working in diverse areas such as
flood defence, pollution control, town planning, farming and waste
management. Our area of responsibility covers all of England and
Wales and we work closely with local communities to achieve results.
EA activities range from influencing Government policy and regulating
major industries nationally, right through to day-to-day monitoring
and clean up operations at a local level
The Environment Agency is divided into eight regions:
Southern
Thames
South West
Midlands
Anglian
North West
North East
Environment Agency Wales
North East Region Information
Stretching from the tip
of Derbyshire, right up to the Scottish border, the region is diverse
and interesting. From large industrial centres to rolling countryside,
culturally diverse and booming cities to small, rural hamlets, rocky
coastlines to quiet beaches, the North East presents a challenge
to the EA, who are charged with protecting this precious environment
for present and future generations.
The EA continue to work closely with industry to monitor emissions
and bring about continuing improvements. Fisheries officers monitor
fish populations and work hard with other Agency departments to
help clean up the region's rivers. Flood warning and flood defence
teams are continually striving to improve the warning service and
bring about improved protection for communities at risk of flooding
Each Environment Agency region has its own set of web pages, containing
regional information and contacts, regular news bulletins and a
number of more in-depth features
