Nature at Work is proud to be part of the UK Sturgeon Alliance, a team of scientists and conservationists working to restore native sturgeon populations in the UK through conservation action and education.
To mark the historic Coronation of King Charles III, the Alliance has launched the UK Sturgeon Conservation Strategy and Action Plan. This science-based guide has been developed by experts to provide a comprehensive roadmap for the recovery of the Atlantic and Critically Endangered European sturgeons in the UK.
Like ants, termites have different forms that live in what is referred to a caste system. One of the more destructive termite castes is made up of workers that perform nest maintenance and forage for food.
The workers are frequently found infesting - and ingesting - wood in homes, businesses, and other structures. While they primarily like to feed on wood, workers will also eat plants at any level of decomposition.
Blocked migration routes & overfishing
Once a common sight in UK rivers and along the coastline, sturgeons have disappeared due to dam construction in rivers, blocking their migration routes, and overfishing that has caused a plummet in their numbers in the latter half of the 20th century.
The actions outlined in the report include restoring key UK coastal, freshwater, and estuarine sturgeon habitats, improving the connectivity of rivers, and working with fishers to reduce accidental bycatch of the fish.
Understand how sturgeons are using waters across the UK and Europe.
The UK Sturgeon Conservation Strategy and Action Plan is a solid, evidence-based way forward to restore the species and a vital chance to save them. Protecting the full range of habitats that sturgeons rely on is essential for safeguarding their futures, and by taking urgent action to restore UK sturgeons, other species that live in the country's waterways and coastlines will also benefit.
We encourage members of the public to report any sightings to the Save the Sturgeon website, which will help us work with partners to understand how sturgeons are using waters across the UK and Europe.
