Last week we launched our citizen science testing (CST) with 10 angling clubs throughout North Wales. This is in partnership with the Angling Trust’s ‘Anglers Against Pollution’. As part of our wider Community Partnerships forum thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community grant. This is part of the water quality monitoring network that aims to engage angling clubs to better understand our waterways and the effects of pollution.
