💨 Abstract

England's Atlantic salmon population has reached a record low, according to Britain's Environment Agency (EA). About 90% of principal salmon rivers in England are classified as "at risk" or "probably at risk", indicating insufficient numbers for sustainable populations. The EA attributes this to pollution from agriculture, industries, wastewater, roads, and the dumping of raw sewage in rivers and seas, especially by privatised water companies.
