Fantastic in-depth article about the legendary "sewage sleuths" @watervole3 & @WindrushWasp today: theguardian.com/environment/20… And here they are telling their horrifying sewage tales in Rivercide, trying not to laugh as @GeorgeMonbiot crashes his canoe👇
George Monbiot@GeorgeMonbiot

Whilst the scandal of sewage in our rivers gets all the headlines - here’s the hidden poo-nami that urgently needs tackling! 👇
Materiality 🕵🗺️@mtrlty

Our Muck Maps for @UKSustain , @ciwf and @friends_earth reveal the spread of chicken and pig muck across the UK and the areas that may be at most risk of nutrient pollution 🗺️💩 We've calculated up to 33,450 tonnes of manure is produced by UK factory farms per day!

🚨NEW: A recent internal report from Natural Resources Wales reveals that 63% of farms they inspected were breaking environmental regulations. Bad news for agricultural pollution in Wales. Here’s the story, including a link to the full report: cutcher.co.uk/linklog/2024/1…

If you saw Rivercide, you’ll remember Emily’s powerful interview with @GeorgeMonbiot about discovering her beloved River Llynfi polluted - the fish gasping on the surface. Now @owensheers has rendered this horrifying experience into a poem…
Friends of the River Wye@FriendsUpperWye

Listen from 31 mins 20 secs to hear @owensheers read his powerful poem about the pollution of the River Llynfi. It’s in the voice of Emily who was the first to report the disastrous fish kill. “It’s always a dog walker, isn’t it, who finds a body…” bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

The masterful @owensheers has written a poem about the pollution of the Llynfi (a tributary of the Wye). It’s in the voice of Emily, who witnessed a major fish kill there in 2020 and featured on @rivercide_live. Listen to The Verb tonight, BBC R4, at 9pm. Recorded @hayfestival

📢BREAKING: River Wye gets its first bathing status! Thanks to our challenge with the @GoodLawProject and @RiverActionUK, the @WelshGovernment has reversed their decision to deny bathing status to the Warren at Hay, a bathing place since at least the first OS map in 1888

Our citizen scientists monitor hundreds of sites throughout the Wye catchment. For months, one site - Hollywell Dingle - has been topping our leaderboard of shame as the most polluted. Has the @EnvAgency investigated the source of this pollution? NO. 🧵 1/6

This was the extraordinary moment at our Restore the River event when Environment Agency Chair Alan Lovell was challenged by journalist ⁦@NicolaCutcher⁩ and a desperate audience on when the agency would enforce the law against polluters.

It was pretty wild chairing this event. Everyone is clamouring for the @EnvAgency & @NatResWales to enforce the law to protect the river! Here’s my write-up: cutcher.co.uk/linklog/2024/0…

If you missed our landmark ‘Restore the River’ event in Monmouth on Friday evening, you can now watch it online. Illuminating exchanges with Avara Foods, Noble Foods and the Chairs of the Environment Agency & Natural Resources Wales. youtu.be/4hFL6TK6MXA

🚨We’ve applied for a stretch of the River Wye, near Hay, to become a designated bathing water. The Welsh Gov is consulting on the proposal. Please respond by 19 February to make your views known. Consultation details: gov.wales/bathing-water-…

📻Here’s the full interview with @NicolaCutcher, whose investigations reveal that the @EnvAgency admits to conducting ZERO inspections of non-permitted free-range egg farms along the Wye. Such complacency is disgraceful and we look forward to seeing the EA in court next month!👊

DEFRA seems to be in denial about the Wye egg story in the Observer. I have to call out this disingenuous statement from an anonymous @EnvAgency spokesperson: ‘permitted farms are subject to regular inspections’ There’s a catch. THREAD 🧵 1/8 deframedia.blog.gov.uk/2024/01/14/cov…

🚨DISMAYING UPDATE @NaturalEngland has informed us that they have merely issued a ‘warning’ in relation to this incident. No prosecution, no fine. Laws are meaningless without enforcement. The River Wye is officially ‘declining’: a story of regulatory failure.
Friends of the River Wye@FriendsUpperWye

A few days ago the River Wye’s status was officially downgraded by @NaturalEngland to being in an unfavourable and declining condition. Today, an ancient riverside meadow near Whitney on Wye has been ploughed up right up to the banks.

There is consensus here between supermarkets, farmers and environmental groups - we need ‘special measures’ for the Wye! Why is govt asleep at the wheel? Where is the long-promised ‘Plan for the Wye’ from Secretary of State @theresecoffey ?
Adam Vaughan@adamvaughan_uk

• If the river Wye were a school it would be in special measures, according to Tesco, Waitrose and conservationists #CleanItUp • @CraigBennett3 wrote to Welsh & UK govt on state of Wye. @JulieJamesMS replied, @theresecoffey hasn't • Still no sign of Coffey's plan for the Wye
