To ask the Scottish Government whether it can provide an update on the establishment of river management plans.
Scotland’s River Basin Management Plans 2021-2027 (RBMP) set out a range of actions aiming to improve the overall condition of Scotland’s water environment by 2027.

The most up to date RBMP classification information is available at the water classification hub.
