[CUCBC Coxes] Possible river pollution

[Conor Burgess]

Dear all,

Sadly a large number (~1000) dead fish have been found in the Cam between Chesterton and Baitsbite Lock. It is possible that a pollutant may be the cause, and the Environment Agency and Anglian Water are investigating / testing water samples etc.

Even more so than you usually would, please ensure all of your rowers and coxes limit their exposure to Cam water (i.e. washing equipment and then hands after outings, avoid novice sculling sessions where capsizes are more likely, etc.), at least until we know more about what has killed the fish.

Best wishes,
Conor
