Other ways to make a difference
There are also other initiatives which gather more detailed data on certain aspects of freshwater habitats and their species assemblages that you might want to get involved in, such as the Riverfly Partnership, the Rivers Trusts, the Freshwater Habitats Trust, CrowdWater, SmartRivers, Earthwatch Waterblitz, Modular River Survey, and the Angling Trust Water Quality Monitoring Network.
