Fish Legal has launched the #EveryRiverCounts campaign. They are asking for everyone who cares about healthy rivers in the UK to support their nationally important legal case against the UK Government & the Environment Agency. What began as a local fight by Pickering Fishery Association anglers to bring fish back to the polluted waters of the Costa Beck, has now become a national test case to ensure no river is left behind in the fight against pollution.
