RiverFly Partnership
The Riverfly Partnership is a network of more than sixty partner organisations, representing anglers, conservationists, entomologists, scientists, water course managers and relevant authorities, working together to:
- protect the water quality of our rivers;
- further the understanding of riverfly populations;
- and actively conserve riverfly habitats.
This is achieved by:
- providing a forum for raising issues affecting riverflies and developing consensus and collaborative action,
- raising awareness of riverflies, and their importance to aquatic conservation and function, amongst the public and decision makers,
- involving people in monitoring and recording riverflies,
- offering leadership and disseminating expertise in the effective acquisition and interpretation of riverfly monitoring data,
- stimulating scientific research to answer key questions about issues affecting riverflies,
- improving the conservation status of riverfly species by securing healthy and sustainable populations,
- increasing and promoting knowledge about positive management techniques,
- seeking to form and influence debate of current issues.
As well as increasing the availability of this information the Partnership will address declines in riverfly populations, including declines in overall abundance and threats to individual species.
The SRT has organised RiverFly monitoring courses and many volunteers now monitor rivers and streams around the catchment. If you or your organisation is interested in joining in please contact us.
