The Environment Department works on areas related to environmental policy, regulation, enforcement and monitoring across terrestrial and marine activities, and co-ordinate research, climate change response initiatives, and habitat preservation/restoration within FIG.

We have a centralising role with respect to environment, working closely with other directorates across FIG to help facilitate cross-departmental work on topics related to the natural environment, including biodiversity, climate change, science and innovation, waste and pollution, and energy.

Working from the Environment Strategy, and the Island Plan  which has a large Environmental Focus, there are many different work streams that the Environment department is working on including such areas as:

  • Climate Change its effects and mitigation and adaptation measures,
  • The habitat restoration programme, both on Stanley Common and other FIG owned land,
  • Managing National Nature Reserves,
  • Biodiversity and wildlife programmes
  • Waste and pollution control,
  • Environmental Studies Budget grant scheme.

As well as all day to day operational and administrative tasks such as:

  • Stanley Common management
  • Research permit applications
  • Visitor access and permits to Kidney Island
  • Restricted activity permits
