The Riverfly Partnership is a network of more than sixty partner organisations, representing anglers, conservationists, entomologists, scientists, water course managers and relevant authorities, working together to:
- protect the water quality of our rivers;
- further the understanding of riverfly populations;
- and actively conserve riverfly habitats.
This is achieved by:
- providing a forum for raising issues affecting riverflies and developing consensus and collaborative action,
- raising awareness of riverflies, and their importance to aquatic conservation and function, amongst the public and decision makers,
- involving people in monitoring and recording riverflies,
- offering leadership and disseminating expertise in the effective acquisition and interpretation of riverfly monitoring data,
- stimulating scientific research to answer key questions about issues affecting riverflies,
- improving the conservation status of riverfly species by securing healthy and sustainable populations,
- increasing and promoting knowledge about positive management techniques,
- seeking to form and influence debate of current issues.
The Salmon & Trout Association (S&TA) host The Riverfly Partnership on behalf of the Partners as part of the S&TA's active engagement in the management and conservation of the aquatic environment.
