    Nature is the provider of everything we need to live. Thatโ€™s why the WMCA and @DefraGovUK are working together to connect businesses with local projects that restore parks, rivers and green spaces across the region.

    The penalty for fly-tipping has got even tougher. Local authorities will have the ability to issue on-the-spot fines of up to ยฃ5,000 to fly-tippers. Our message to fly-tippers couldnโ€™t be clearer: there will be a price to pay. Read more: gov.uk/government/newโ€ฆ

    We've been out with @DVSAgovuk, @JUWC_WasteCrime and @ScottishEPA to check waste is being transported and stored correctly in Cumbria. We identified several significant breaches from waste carriers, and will be taking action against those breaking the law.

    We have been busy rescuing fish on the River Teme and River Redlake in Shropshire. Most recently we moved salmon, trout, eels and lamprey from the River Teme. If you see fish in distress or in need of a rescue, please call our 24-hour hotline 0800 807060.
    Two individuals stand by a shallow, rocky stream surrounded by greenery. This was the River Teme.  One person is holding a blue bucket, and the other is wearing a backpack with a connected tube, appearing to conduct a water-based activity. The setting is outdoors on a clear day.
    Two people in outdoor gear are standing in a shallow stream surrounded by lush greenery. They are focused on a blue bucket in the water and are holding equipment for collecting samples. The scene conveys scientific fieldwork in a natural setting.

    Ever wondered what clearing an illegal waste site involves? As Kidlington's clean-up continues, we are working hard to make sure those who carried out this crime are held to account and foot the bill for the clean-up operation. Watch the full video here: youtu.be/XNXFONTndyE?siโ€ฆ

    Ever wondered what the coloured patches in the sea are or why there is foam on the beach? As temperatures rise, algal blooms may appear more frequently around our coast, often mistaken for pollution. Read more on how to stay safe in the water: environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2022/06/22/telโ€ฆ

    Wildfire risk is high this weekend. โš ๏ธ If you're visiting the countryside, please follow this advice: ๐Ÿ”ฅ Pack a picnic, instead of a BBQ ๐ŸŽ’ Take your rubbish home - glass starts fires, rubbish fuels a fire ๐Ÿ“ž If you see a fire unattended, get to a safe place and call 999.

    Weirs and locks might look like fun places to cool down, but they contain hidden dangers. Remember to follow safety signage, and #FloatToLive if you get into difficulties.
    A river view with overcast skies, bordered by trees on one side and a weir dividing the water. Text overlay from the Environment Agency advises staying clear of locks, weirs, and sluices when near water.
