A recent fish survey at Shopham discovered the presence of a spawning sea lamprey on the new riffle. According to the Environment Agency this is the first record of spawning sea lamprey in the Rother. This is not a first for Sussex as they are seen regularly on the River Ouse but this is great news for our catchment. This highlights the success of the Western Rother Fisheries Enhancement Project which was completed in August 2013. For further information see Shopham Riffles Diary.
