Severn Estuary Partnership
@severnestuary.bsky.social
We're an independent, estuary-wide non-statutory initiative led by local authorities and statutory agencies, hosted by Cardiff University. We work with all those involved in the management of the Severn Estuary.
Help protect our waterways while enjoying your hobby! 🌿🎣 The ANLRS is a volunteer-run programme helping anglers recycle used line safely. Using ANLRS bins keeps it out of rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Find out more through the link in our bio!
