Tell governments across the UK: remove barriers and reconnect rivers
Over 70,000 barriers are fragmenting UK rivers and preventing migratory fish from moving freely. Imagine trying to get home, but every road is blocked. You can see where you need to go, but you can’t get there. That’s the reality wild fish are facing in rivers across the UK right now.
Add your name now and demand urgent government action to reconnect our rivers and save wild fish.
Support Barrier-Free Rivers
The problem river barriers create: A staggering 97% of UK rivers are no longer connected. Adequate fish passage still fails to exist. But the science is clear: healthy, connected rivers are essential for wildlife and freshwater ecosystems.
The solution: Wherever possible, barriers should be removed entirely to restore natural river function. Where removal is not feasible, effective fish passage solutions must be mandatory, ensuring fish can move freely through river systems.
