This is a short film about the work being done by the Environment Agency and local ecological consultant, PBA Applied Ecology, in conjuction with the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority to protect the native white-clawed crayfish in the rivers of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The crayfish face two threats - the American signal crayfish and the crayfish plague that they carry. Work is being done to remove the American signal crayfish from the rivers, as well as breeding the white-clayed crayfish in captivity and releasing them into the wild.

More details of Joe's work can be found on his website, http://www.joetuck.com.
