🎣It's so great to hear the passion from anglers of all types about the care and concern they have for our rivers, lakes and seas 🎣

Yesterday at the #MarchforCleanWater hundreds of anglers took to the streets to demand the government does more to stop water pollution, and protect the places we all love for future generations.

Support the Angling Trust so we can keep up the fight.

Today, we launch our #EveryRiverCounts campaign. We’re asking anyone who cares about healthy rivers to support our nationally important legal case against the Government and Environment Agency...

What began as a local fight with @pickeringfish to bring fish back to the polluted waters of the Costa Beck has become a national test case to ensure no river is left behind.

We have had enough of empty Government promises and spin over substance. We are tired of excuses for inaction and endless bureaucratic drift.

If you are too, back us in our legal fight in the Court of Appeal by joining our campaign. Donate. Sign up to support. Tell us which river is special to you: https://t.co/M3S2usUrhs

Our analysis of water company business plans shows they’re thinking too much grey & not enough green👎

Investing more in measures like reedbeds & wetlands would give homes for wildlife & help clean up our rivers🌊

We'd rather the pollution didn't happen, but where it does, we join our friends @theriverstrust, @WildlifeTrusts, @RiverActionUK, @sascampaigns, @WCL_News & @nationaltrust to insist @hmtreasury ensure the “polluter pays” to clean up & ringfence fines for environment restorations.

@SDSUFishEcology @SDStateNRM @LabUNDerwater Sounds really interesting

THIS IS IMPORTANT - A thread (1/6)🧵In 2015, #FishLegal won a landmark case that secured a right for the public to obtain environmental information directly from privatised water companies under the Environmental Information Regulations...

[Angling Trust @AnglingTrust]

For more than two hours, MPs weighed in behind the calls for action on pollution from campaigning groups such as Surfers Against Sewage, the Rivers Trust and the Angling Trust.

A very exciting update for #INNSweek - the @RiverDeeTeam have just announced the official opening of their first disinfection station! The station is @twinpeakes Fly Fishing at Milton of Crathes and is free for all anglers. Tackle and equipment will be professionally disinfected.

@JKSLtd Yes please if there are still any left 🤞

We @FishLab have been leading investigations to determine the characteristics of the #Prussian carp found in England. They closely resemble other #Carassius species, inc. brown goldfish and F1’s so detailed #morphological and #meristic data is being gathered.

It's #INNSweek and all this week we are raising awareness of aquatic invasive species that anglers should look out for when fishing and what you can do to #StopTheSpread. Find out more: https://t.co/hHZTJVLjLD

@grantstentiford @SERCinvasions @grantstentiford @SERCinvasions @AnglingTrust Very concerning to see this. Would be very interested in getting an update when available so we can ask anglers in the region to keep an look out.

@UKRI_News @UCLgeography Great to see Ian getting some well deserved recognition. Couldn't have achieved my fieldwork without him.

@harrietalvis @IFM_updates Hey. Just emailed you 🙂

[Emily R C Smith @EmilyrcSmith]

@harrietalvis @IFM_updates Hey Harriet. My work covers recreational fisheries/anglers, biosecurity and INNS management. Carries on from my PhD which assessed angling as a pathway for INNS dispersal 🎣🍀🦐
