Many thanks to @lizbonnin for profiling freshwater species on Easter Sunday on the BBC. We need more wonderful champions to INSPIRE action for fish and other overlooked aquatic species. @Shoal_Org

The rivers in the UK have been neglected by the very companies that we pay to keep them healthy. The people of the UK have had enough. Rivers and freshwater systems all across the world are similarly neglected. We need to pay attention to freshwater now. #marchforcleanwater

The time for action is long overdue. We demand policy change NOW to halt the drastic decline in water health, before the life is drained from them. #marchforcleanwater #ukrivers #riveraction 🧵 3/3

The UK’s waters are among the worst in Europe in terms of ecological health, with sewage and agricultural effluent pouring into them daily, putting immense pressure on the life support systems that species need to survive. 🧵 2/3
