Today, the inland waterways are used for many purposes. Each use has the potential to interact with the interests of the natural environment and may, if not well-managed, detract from its value. In many cases this will not only affect efforts to conserve natural resources; users themselves will experience a decrease in the attractiveness and interest of the waterway environment. This report reviews current knowledge of the environmental impacts of the many different uses of the UK’s inland waterways. It identifies areas in which there is insufficient knowledge and proposes research to remedy these shortcomings.
