Hi Trevor

Brilliant idea with the Crime stop and connection to Green Scorpions.
Let us hope that this site is a wonderful way to link anglers and any
member of the public with effective law enforcement. Wonderful. I also
hope it will deal with biological pollution of our rivers which in many
ways can be longer lasting and have more impact than a chemical
spill in a main channel (ie if there are tributaries in which the biota can
recolonise the main channel). In the case of biological pollution
(especially the illegal movement of alien invasive fish) there can be
long term damage not only at point of introduction but upstream
downstream and into tributaries.

I for one will keep an eye on this site to see what is happening.

All the best with this great idea of yours
