18 Aug (Tue): Talk on "How good is your river?"

"How good is your river? Non specialists play a critical role in ensuring the good ecological status of rivers"

By Bridget Peacock, Director, Riverfly Partnership, London

Trained non-specialists are playing a critical role in helping to ensure the good ecological status of UK rivers. The Riverfly Partnership Anglers’ Monitoring Initiative enables trained non-specialist groups to have an informed dialogue on river water quality with the statutory bodies.

The initiative has caught the imagination of anglers and others across the UK who care about the health of their rivers and an expanding army of volunteer groups are now regularly monitoring their rivers.

After the seminar, there will be opportunity to discuss how aspects of Bridget's work might be adopted in Singapore
