    No one was hurt or killed when 1,000 tons of rock collapsed at East Beach yesterday. But it is extremely dangerous to be on or near cliffs when the wind is high and waves are strong. There is no minimum safe distance. Be wise: your life is not worth risking for a walk.

    We asked some friends to help raise awareness of the plastics often found polluting oceans and beaches and they sung a song! #12BeachCleansofChristmas 🎄

    Good news fishies 🐟🐟🐟 - we've temporarily extended the fish pass at Trews Weir in Exeter by 7m so you can get up the River Exe. It sounds like a simple job but it required a lot of work. Find out why: gov.uk/government/new…

    We’ve reduced the level of water on Currymoor by 20%, that’s 5 million tons of water. Tomorrow we anticipate moving the temporary pump intakes out into the deeper water so they continue to operate at maximum efficiency.

    A Gloucestershire fisherman who lured valuable elvers into his illegally-placed fishing net instead caught a 5-figure legal bill - he was ordered to pay almost £11,000 for fishing for eels illegally.

    Our team has rescued nearly 3,000 fish stranded in a leat at St James Weir. Notably pike, roach, chub, salmon, trout and eel. The leat's water levels dropped after part of the weir washed away. The fish have been returned elsewhere to the River Exe.

    We are investigating why the River Yealm has turned white in south Devon. Officers are on site and looking for the source of pollution and what impact there is on the environment. If you have any information that could help, contact our hotline 0800 807060.

    🌊🚗Just one eggcup of water is enough to wreck your engine. Don’t drive through floodwater.

    Gone - a weir that was impeding fish passage on River Dart near Holne. Working with @WestcountryRT, the landowner & Castleford Engineering we removed the weir, restoring river to its natural state, ensuring fish can access upstream habitats #teamwork Thank you everyone involved👋

    Our pumping efforts continue at all of our pumping stations, plus the additional pumps at Currymoor, to clear as much water as possible and make the most of the clear forecast.
