Salmon and Trout Conservation UK
Nick Measham, project manager of Salmon and Trout Conservation UK, joined our annual general meeting as guest speaker in March 2017. Nick gave us a fascinating presentation on the Riverfly Census.
83% of English rivers fail the test of “good ecological status” as defined by European environmental legislation, including the Whitewater. Understanding how and why the riverfly numbers are declining is the first step in the process of safeguarding the aquatic environment. Consequently, Salmon and Trout Conservation UK is undertaking this important survey on rivers across the UK. We look forward to reporting the results of this work, as they are published.
