One of Britain’s most protected rivers has breached a key environmental limit placed on it by the regulator, an LBC investigation has uncovered. In the latest edition of Feargal on Friday, Nick Ferrari tasked legendary pop star and fly fishing fanatic Feargal Sharkey with visiting the River Wye, a body of water famed for its previously abundant - but now depleting - salmon population.
According to the Environment Agency, salmon stocks in 2023 reached a record low, whilst LBC uncovered a fivefold increase in the number of fish killed in England linked to pollution events.Whilst Mr Sharkey believes Welsh Water, which discharged sewage for over 970,000 hours in 2023, accounting for around 20% of sewage discharge, shoulders a portion of the blame, he is also concerned by the role of agriculture in the vicinity of the River Wye.
