Information for Landowners
We wish to survey the journey of migrating fish to understand what barriers they face and quality of river habitats improving access for migrating fish and eels.
As a landowner who’s land adjoins the river Sid We are seeking permission from riparian landowners to allow Westcountry Rivers Trust surveyors access to the River Sid and its tributaries, in order to survey river habitats and any obstacles to fish migration.
What does surveying involve?
Surveying is a non-invasive process carried out by up to two people. It is a simple walkover visually assessing and recording river habitats and in stream structures as in the photograph.
Once we have your agreement, we will book a mutually convenient date for the survey to take place.
Hannah Parvin is the Westcountry Rivers Trust Project Officer responsible for the walkover survey. The map (right) is an example of the output from a walkover survey showing habitat types, bankside features and points of interest within the river.
