We need your help!

We currently have no market for the elvers. EU exports are banned. DEFRA is not currently allowing exports to anywhere else. It is within their power to allow us to do this. This year as it is we will be closed, if we do not have a market for next year, within the next couple of months we will have to close next year and most likely that will be the end of elvering for our lifetimes.

We do now urgently need your help to get the momentum going. DEFRA needs to know you do not want the fishery to close.
You can contact your MP for help too!

Below are all the contacts you need. Feel free to post on Twitter or facebook.
