The Every River Counts Appeal, led by Fish Legal, is a crucial initiative fighting to protect our rivers. This campaign aims to raise awareness, mobilise action, and hold those responsible for damaging our waterways accountable.

Why are healthy rivers important?

Healthy rivers are essential for thriving fish populations. Pollution can harm fish directly and disrupt their habitats, negatively impacting fishing opportunities. Well-managed rivers offer a diverse range of angling experiences. Anglers, passionate about protecting the environment, have a vested interest in preserving these vital ecosystems.

Through legal action, Fish Legal is actively pursuing polluters and water companies to hold them accountable for their harmful practices. Simultaneously, the campaign is raising public awareness about the pressing threats facing our rivers and encouraging individuals to take action.
