This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Call for Action After New Report Reveals Worrying State of UK Rivers
i watched this on the bbc this morning, a representative of the angling trust was interviewed but what amazed me was the EA saying that abstraction is one of the causes of low river levels, have they only just realised this, they are the ones who are supposed to control abstraction arnt they,anglers have known the bad effects of over abstraction for years but dont get listened to, money always comes first im afraid.
Saw it! No need to be afraid, Wildlife and Countryside Act Cites and various other regs has them covered!There was an aricle on the news about the Chestnut Centre in Derbyshire.
It has taken in some GIANT otters - native to South America. These things grow up to 6ft in length.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.....

Even Stevie Wonder should be a ble to get a good shot (photo) of one that big with his pocket camera....
It's a good job we don't get big beavers over here then.
That was Mark Lloyd, top man!
Trouble with the EA, you're dealing with different departments, Fisheries and Abstractions. Then there's Water Levels, Pollutions (water), Navigations, Estates, Recreation. That's before you even start dealing with land based departments like Waste Management, Mineral Extractions, Land fill, and a dozen others. It's the biggest disorganisation in the country!
