Restoring the River Ouse to boost fish levels and biodiversity

[L Borland]

The Environment Agency have just issued a newsletter on their MORPH project, which looks to improve local waters by removing barriers to the flow of fish and sediment in the Rivers Ouse and Uck. Benefits should include a reduced risk or frequency of flooding downstream. 13 sites for action in 2012 are already identified, including Barcombe Mills and Plumpton Mill Stream. 

 

The EA has a drop-in session on 13 December at Clair Hall in Haywards Heath. Further details from [e-mail]
