The Robson Meeting is a long standing interactive
forum for discussion of aquatic weed and invasive species ecology and
control issues, especially related to inland flood defence and conservation.
It is recognised as the only such event of its type
in Europe and the strong emphasis on discussion and interaction between
different interest groups has always proved to be a positive benefit for
making practical progress in watercourse management
