What is the Adur Recovery Project?
The Adur Recovery Project is a community-driven initiative aimed at restoring and preserving the River Adur and its surrounding habitats. From addressing pollution to enhancing biodiversity, the project brings together volunteers, experts and organisations to ensure the river thrives for generations to come. My role as a riverfly monitor is just one small part of this collaborative effort.
What is The Riverfly Partnership?
The Riverfly Partnership is a nationwide network dedicated to protecting river ecosystems. Through their Riverfly Monitoring Initiative, they empower volunteers to monitor and report on water quality, helping to build a clearer picture of the health of rivers across the UK. This citizen-science approach is vital for detecting pollution incidents and fostering a broader understanding of freshwater ecosystems.
Why it matters
Clean, thriving rivers aren’t just vital for wildlife, they’re essential for humans too. From providing drinking water to supporting agriculture and recreation, rivers touch every aspect of our lives. Initiatives like the Adur Recovery Project and the Riverfly Partnership highlight how local actions can have a global impact.
Our commitment to monitoring the River Adur is a great example of how individuals can make a meaningful difference. At GOAT, we’re proud to support this work and we encourage others to explore similar opportunities to help lighten our impact on the planet.
Together, we can help to restore the health of our rivers and ensure they remain a source of life, beauty and inspiration for future generations to come.
