Invasive non-native species can have
a damaging impact on British plants,
animals and ecosystems – by spreading
disease, competing for habitat and
food and direct predation.
Plants that grow profusely can block
waterways while some animals can
damage riverbanks - so they also affect
economic uses of our environment and
add significant management costs.
As a water user, you may unknowingly
be helping to spread invasive species
from one water body to another in
equipment, shoes and clothing.
Help stop this happening by following
three simple steps:

CHECK - CLEAN - DRY

Your attention is also drawn to
a new publication received from
the Environment Agency, giving
guidelines as to the approved
methods and rigs to be used
on WDAA waters. All members
are requested to adhere
to these guidelines
