Went stream monitoring yesterday. Another bad score. #saveourstreams
Brown Trout are very sensitive to Phosphate levels (The Canary in the Coal Mine) as we move into Summer & river levels drop Phosphate will be compounded leading to🐟deaths & Algae blooms which deprives the river of oxygen 🆘 #SaveOurStreams #DirtyBuisness #SewageScandal
Thanks for the tour around the River Rhee🧐really sad to see signs of Brown Algae in the headwaters & usually attributed to Nutrients & low flows☹️streams turned into ditches don’t allow the movement of silt or organic detritus making the problem worse ☹️ 🆘 #SaveOurStreams
Puzzled by this "River" Rhee at Fowlmere, that arises near Royston & at Barrington flows into the River Rhee arising at Ashwell; it's a trickle, choked with ominous brown algae in places, put has Fool's Watercress & Crack Willows & Aspens on its banks. #Chalkstreams #Cambs 2/10
@LandguardNot 🙏possibly the rarest ecosystem on Earth and England doesn’t protect them 🤯
🆘 #SaveOurStreams
Winter Summer #ChalkStreams really are one of the Worlds best & unique ecosystems & need protection from Pollution Agricultural🧪🐓🐖🐄💩Sewage 🚽🧻💩& Road runoff🛞⛽️ + over development🏘️ and Over abstraction
🆘 #SaveOurStreams
The River Heacham is still dry 2 miles below its Spring source at Sedgeford😱Over abstraction from the Chalk Aquifer’s is destroying our RARE #ChalkStreams 🆘 #SaveOurStreams @RobGMacfarlane
@EnvAgencyAnglia your job is to protect our environment
In just 2 years time, 1st Jan 2028 the @EnvAgency will be able to amend or revoke any abstraction licence that is causing any river to fail to achieve 'Good' ecological status and without having to compensate the water company concerned.
No doubt the EA will soon be rushing to tell you all about their plans.
April 2025 & just look at the water level 🧐I’d expect the river to have recovered by December🤷♂️below average rainfall is killing our Rare #ChalkStreams Restrictions on water abstraction must be enforced next year @EnvAgencyAnglia @AnglianWater 🆘 #SaveOurStreams
It’s often said that it takes anything from 6 months to 60 years for the water to percolate through the Chalk Aquifer’s to bubble up in springs🧐Over abstraction is devastating this unique habitat 🆘 #SaveOurStreams
Flowing Chalk Streams have been turned into shallow dribbles.
They're irreplaceable habitats. Once gone, they’re gone.
Companies over-abstracted our rivers. Our inheritance vandalised for money.
Our planning system must protect the nature people love over short-term profit.
The House of Commons will be voting on Amendment 94 (Protect Chalk Streams) & Amendment 130 in the Planning and Infrastructure bill today 🤔it will be unforgivable if Parliament doesn’t choose to protect them 🆘 #SaveOurStreams @jamesowild
We’ve lost the Salmon & Eels ☹️are Brown Trout next ? 🆘 #SaveOurStreams Trout need fast flowing shallow water with clean gravel to make their Redds this is the same stream filmed in December 2023
Why hasn’t a Drought restriction been implemented in West Norfolk ? @EnvAgencyAnglia I’ve never witnessed the River levels so low🤷♂️the pollutants are no longer being diluted @NENorfolkSufflk @N_Rivers_Trust 🆘 #SaveOurStreams
Convinced that this large Quartz boulder was placed here to mark a permanent spring🤔2025 & it’s dried up @markrwilliamson @Feargal_Sharkey @EnvAgencyAnglia @AnglianWater @N_Rivers_Trust 🆘 #SaveOurStreams
Worshiped by Ancient Civilisations Springs were where most people lived🧐Alongside the Ickneild Way Britains oldest road lies this Crystal clear Chalk Spring marked by a large Quartz boulder which was probably placed here Millennia ago😍2025 a rare sight due to over abstraction
@RussellB1ggs @GaywoodRiver @AnglianWater @UnderwaterMedia @WATERSHED_i @BBCNorfolk @NorfolkWT @N_Rivers_Trust @WestNorfolkRob @jamesowild @ConversationUK @ChrisGPackham Disgraceful to see a river that once sustained life now choked by pollution. Time to act—#SaveOurStreams starts with us. 💧
@GaywoodRiver @AnglianWater @UnderwaterMedia @WATERSHED_i @BBCNorfolk @NorfolkWT @N_Rivers_Trust @WestNorfolkRob @jamesowild @ConversationUK @ChrisGPackham Phosphate testing at Derby Fen bridge SSSI @NorfolkWT on a healthy #ChalkStream I’m looking for a reading of 0.02-0.04 🤷♂️The Gaywood River once was full of Brown Trout & used by the King’s Lynn residents as drinking water🤬🆘#SaveOurStreams
@GaywoodRiver @AnglianWater @UnderwaterMedia @WATERSHED_i @BBCNorfolk @NorfolkWT @N_Rivers_Trust @WestNorfolkRob @jamesowild @ConversationUK @ChrisGPackham The Gaywood River🤮heavily polluted with Phosphate resulting in Algae scum coating everything in the river @EnvAgencyAnglia ?compare this to the River Babingley only 6 miles away😍 @NENorfolkSufflk @KingsLynnLive @jamesowild 🆘#SaveOurStreams #ChalkStreams
For 30 yrs The Sedgeford dig has been taken place with 100’s of bearded men & Dungaree wearing women learning their Archaeological trade😉Photo @TheLynnNews Aquifer so low that the river is now dependent on road drains☹️@stormwater_jo 🆘 #SaveOurStreams
Did you know? There are only 260 chalk streams in the entire world, and 10% of them are found in Hertfordshire!

Gaywood River Derby Fen SSSI @NorfolkWT a RARE #ChalkStream suffering from Phosphate overload from @AnglianWater STW 💩🚽 Time to install a Phosphate stripper or filtration ponds to polish the effluent discharge 🙏@GaywoodRiver @NENorfolkSufflk @N_Rivers_Trust 🆘 #SaveOurStreams
Understaffed underfunded & under pressure to turn a blind eye to everything but the most serious pollution incidents🧐A Category 1 pollution incident resulting in🐟💀will potentially be investigated but everything else ends in the 🗑️@SteveReedMP @EnvAgency 🆘 #SaveOurStreams
Absolutely no surprises here when the @EnvAgency continues to turn a blind eye to clearly evidenced incidents. Serious pollution incidents by water companies up 60% last year, according latest government data. https://t.co/X2JlnriyeT
