Salmon and Trout population has diminished by nearly 80% in the River Blackwater and we know that as my husband is a keen angler for the past 60 years. Due to some extent from the formation of an Algae skum on the bed of the river which promotes growth of a river weed white flower that rises to the top that dies in the water producing more Algae. The fresh water mussel population has almost diminished.

Hopefully, the Government will become more aware of what's happening to our Rivers and Seas!
