In an open letter to the 11 sports National Governing Bodies – that include British Rowing – that make up the Clean Water Sports Alliance, Emma Hardy MP wrote, “Your passion and persistence have helped keep water security and river health on the national agenda, and we value the important role you play in holding governments to account”.
She added, “We share your commitment. Ensuring clean, secure and sustainable water resources has been one of our top priorities. That’s why we’ve taken decisive action to improve the health of our rivers, lakes and seas, invest in critical water infrastructure, and deliver reforms that put long-term water security and environmental outcomes front and centre.”
British Rowing’s environmental sustainability work
Our vision is for A clean and flourishing environment in and around our waters – for now and for future generations. Our aim is to empower the rowing community across Britain to work together to learn, share and develop robust, sustainable practices to protect the sport we love and our planet.
One of the six objectives we’ve set ourselves to achieve this is to help our waters thrive by working in collaboration with others to restore access to clean water. We’ve recently published a report on what we’ve achieved across our objectives in the past year, and our plans for 2025.
