Yesterday our Protecting Wild Waters (PPW) Team joined Ruth Leach from @savethedeben to spend a day meeting the community to find out why designated bathing water status is vital for water users. We met with Citizen Scientists who are investigating the health of the river and estuary - and how that impacts recreational water users and nature. 🏊♂️ Councillors, young people and local MP @jenny4suffolkcoastal met at The Deben Yacht Club to discuss the concerns for the river. Jenny said - “I'm delighted to continue to support the work of Save the Deben, Surfers Against Sewage, and all the other local campaigners who are dedicated to improving water quality - both here in the Deben, across Suffolk and nationally. Our rivers and seas are the jewel in our Suffolk crown, and I'm determined to make sure that we take this chance to improve our local water quality, and ensure that Suffolk leads the way in creating safe and clean recreational water sites for more people to enjoy." ⛵- Kyson Point at the mouth of Martelsham Creek, is the most polluted area, right by the largest sewage plant on the river. 🏊- Waldringfield, the site of the first designated bathing water on The Deben. This is where the local community come to swim, paddle and sail. 🧪- With thanks to the efforts of Citizen Scientists, like @debenclimatecentre the threats the Deben faces are clear. From river fly monitoring to eDNA this community is filling the gaps of an underfunded regulator. A big thanks to the Deben Estuary Partnership and all of the other groups who were represented during the day, it is incredible see so many committed people working towards a better river.

We’re stoked to see so many amazing dippers signing up for Dip A Day in October. 💦 We know it’s not easy to fit a chilly dip in every day for a month, especially when juggling work, life, family and more. With just a few days to go, there are so many reasons people are taking part in Dip A Day this October. From holding the water companies to account - to wanting a better future for their teenagers. From wanting to treasure the sea, not destroy it - to wanting to be part of an amazing community of water lovers feeling the benefits of cold water dipping, and having fun! Whatever your reason, doing Dip A Day in October is your chance to make a difference, and have a great time while doing it. Sign up: https://lnkd.in/e8nWnS6A #DipADay #DipADayinOctober
