|Project summary=Unlike most catchment partnerships, the Hull and East Riding Catchment Partnership comprises a series of distinct and often discrete watercourses/bodies, known locally as: Barmston Sea Cut; Gypsey Race; Hornsea Mere; Market Weighton Canal and River Foulness; River Hull; and the South Holderness Drains (Burstwick, Keyingham, Ottringham, Thorngumbald and Winestead.

Most of these water bodies are separate from the main inland waterway network. Together, though, they are crucial to the drainage of the Yorkshire Wolds and the East Riding and to the unique landscape character of the region. 

Many of the catchment’s key attributes reflect this diversity and uniqueness. For example, our area boasts the most northerly chalk river system in England – the River Hull Headwaters. This and other water bodies support several nationally important fish species, including brown trout, grayling, eel and lamprey. The catchment also has numerous relic wetlands, many of which have the potential to be restored to enhance biodiversity and mitigate flood risk. 

The water bodies in the catchment provide habitat for farmland bird assemblages and a significant population of water vole, which is recorded as part of the National Water Vole Database and Mapping Project managed by The Wildlife Trusts. Other notable species include greater water parsnip and a wide range of mayflies, caddis flies and other aquatic insects.

In addition, the Hull and East Riding is one of the catchments least affected by invasive non-native species (INNS), such as Himalayan Balsam and Japanese Knotwood. Public awareness campaigns and successful intervention schemes, many of which have involved volunteers, have helped achieve this good standing. The Partnership is currently engaged in the development of the new East Riding Invasive Non-native Species Framework, which will involve a coordinated approach to INNS management and eradication across the region and activities that demonstrate good practice.
