Your rivers
We are one of the major navigation authorities in charge of inland rivers, estuaries and harbours in England and Wales. Our aim is to manage the healthy growth of our waterways for leisure, business, local communities and wildlife.
We manage nearly 1000km of Britain's rivers, and are the Harbour Authority for Rye and the Conservancy Authority for the Dee Estuary.
