The Government has published its response to the Glover review of protected landscapes: National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The government plans to strengthen AONBs - by renaming them National Landscapes - encourage more collaboration between national parks and says protected landscapes must do more to drive the recovery of nature. A report published this week found rivers in England are "in a mess", with not a single one given a clean bill of health. The Environmental Audit Committee found 36% of water bodies were impacted by sewage or wastewater and 40% were affected agricultural pollution, with intensive livestock and poultry farms causing particular issues. And, we look at the various challenges being faced by the UK shellfish industry; from increase paperwork to climate change. Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
