The Loughs Agency has also established an advisory forum. This forum consults with representatives of shellfishing, draft and drift net fishing, fishery owners, tourism operators, environmentalists, local businesses and authorities and those working in forestry and agriculture in the areas surounding the loughs. In this way, those involved in local enterprise in all fields have an opportunity to have an input into the agency's policy decisions. In addition, the Loughs Agency has plans to engage the general public with its work and construction of a new interpretative centre at Prehen on the shores of Lough Foyle is well advanced. This centre will allow for the transmission and dissemination of information on the loughs and the work of the Loughs Agency to the general public. The centre is due to open in the near future.
