Dredging of Falmouth Harbour in the southwest ofthe UK could get consent prior to Easter, and Falmouth Harbour Commissionershave confirmed that they and their partner organisations are moving forwardwith work on the Falmouth Port Development Initiative.

The Commissioners are currently in discussion with a number of organisations ahead of putting forward consent applications, and anticipate consent applications for a Food and Environmental Protection Act for the dredging works to be considered by the Marine and Fisheries Agency before Easter.An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the project was completed in November 2008.
