So here’s a thing

Citizen scientists to monitor English rivers in £7m scheme

  1. Because in Scotland and Wales, consultations are not yet complete on the registration scheme, training requirements and licencing fees for permission to practice as a Citizen Scientist – whether at Lab Coat, Post-Graduate or Professorial levels.

  2. Because the Environment Agency only covers England. And because devolution means that the devolved nations receive the government they deserve.
