Costa Beck

Fish Legal is continuing to advise the Pickering Fishery Association in connection with long-term pollution from Yorkshire Water’s assets, watercress and fish farming operations on the spring-fed Costa Beck in North Yorkshire which has left the once thriving grayling and brown trout fishery devoid of fish. The watercourse is “failing” under its Water Framework Directive designation despite it being the focus of extensive Environment Agency-led habitat improvement in recent years.
