By the end of September, our dedicated team surveyed 370 sites across 20 catchments, gathering vital data to help protect and restore our rivers. Thanks to the South West Water WINEP fisheries monitoring contract, we expanded our reach to new catchments – including the Cober, Drift, Kennall (Stithians), Dart, and Erme – giving us a wider picture of river health across the Westcountry.
