The EnviroPortal is a collection of critical information resources for the ECT sector.
It stays hidden in the bottom menu throughout your entire visit to the SETN website, so any time you want to cross reference to information on one of the sites presented, you only have to pull it up to do so, without losing your place.
We welcome your suggestions for material to be included, so if you know of something we've missed, please let us know.
Twitter can be a valuable source of information too and a great place to ask questions. See who we follow at twitter.com/#!/_setn
