Our volunteer-led survey will give us an insight into how our canals have changed since the 1990s, as well as give us the opportunity to study canals that have been restored since the first survey was conducted.

Although it may seem like a great way to cool down, please don't enter our waterways - there are hidden dangers. If you do find yourself in trouble in the water, remember #FloatToLive - Tilt your head back, ears submerged - Try to relax & control your breathing - Call for help

They might look timeless, but canals need constant care to survive. 💧💪 We’re the charity protecting 2,000 miles of waterways across the UK.
