The Riverfly citizen science programme now has a total of nine active sites in the River Taw catchment, up from two last year. There are another 37 in the Torridge catchment. Through monthly volunteer sampling of invertebrates, all of them provide regular data on river water quality. If there are any problems, the Environment Agency is informed so that they can investigate and take remedial action.
The Riverfly programme was started in the Biosphere in 2014.
