Riverfly Monitoring Initiative

ManifoldCAN began Riverfly monitoring on the Manifold River in 2025, as a great way for the community to learn more about the fantastic creatures living in our river, and to gather information about changes in river water quality by tracking sensitive invertebrate species. It not only helps build a picture over time of the health of the river, but also supports ongoing conversations with the Environment Agency.

If you are interested in becoming a monitoring assistant or would just like to be more involved with the river monitoring group, please get in touch.
