Crayfish in danger as disease threatens


THOUSANDS of a pro­ tected species of crayfish in the River Ribbie are being threatened by a plague infection.The Environment Agency is acting urgently to minimise the impact of the outbreak. Workers are placing native white-clawed crayfish into special tanks in a bid to stop the rapid spread of the fungal infec­


tion.


Crayfish plague can wipe out whole populations of


the native crayfish. The Ribbie, at present, contains a good population


of native crayfish. Environment Agency


Ecology Leader Mr Neil. Guthrie said: "With the


help of a local landowner and Manchester Anglers and their river bailiff, we


are moving as Quickly as possible to minimise the


impact of this plague. "We would urge people to


take extra care with hygiene when moving around river catchments to reduce the risk of spreading


the plague further." The infection could have


come from a number of sources including fish intro­ duced from infected sites, or wet fishing gear used at infected sites. Crayfish plague was first


suspected in the Ribbie by a researcher working on a project jointly sponsored by the Agency and English Nature. He noticed dead crayfish and sent samples to a MAFF laboratory where crayfish plague was confirmed.


Charity workers’ long service awards


MEMBERS of Clith- eroe’s Save the Children group, three of whom were presented with long- service awards, attended the charity's annual con­ ference held in Lan­


cashire. Themed "Working


Together as One Team", they heard the programme officer for Pakistan and Afghanistan detail a trip made to the two countries in a presentation, which


included video footage of


boy soldiers. Yet chairman of the


trustees, Mr Barry Clarke, highlighted how donations were also funding inner-city projects in the UK, includ­ ing schemes in Manchester


and Liverpool. An appeal was made by the charity's legacy adviser


for bequests. Other action points dis­


cussed were its work in Kosovo to rebuild schools and set up play areas.

What is certain is that you need to head for those who give you most reassurance and rely on everything turning out as it should after a couple ol days of upheaval, it everyone digs in their heels and refuses to budge then it will drag everything out unnecessarily.
