Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Limestone Ribble Restoration is a partnership project that will use CRF funds to improve watercourses in an area of the Ribble Catchment that has been quarried, farmed and industrialised for hundreds of years. The degraded habitat, diffuse pollution and obstructions to fish passage are causing certain watercourses in this area to fail to meet the required standards under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Through restoration work, the project will address issues including: unnatural flow regimes caused by upland grips; sediment which has a direct adverse effect on water quality; barriers to fish migration, preventing fish from reaching habitat that modelling shows they should be present in; interrupted natural downstream movement of substrate which reduces spawning habitat for salmonids; fertiliser run off into rivers which can cause nutrient enrichment and impact negatively on river ecology; expected rise in river water temperature associated with climate change; failed bathing water standard in coastal reaches due to presence of excess pathogens attributable to upstream sources.
