        * Wear counter out of service from 22 June to 26 July 2007 so those figures represent part months totals

SOUTH PASS UPDATE, 3rd JANUARY 2008: from the Environment Agency re Coquet Counters.

Recent high river flows have caused substantial damage to our fish counting ramp and electrodes at the south pass at Warkworth on the Coquet. As a result, the fish counter for the south pass is not currently recording fish passage.We are arranging removal of the debris to ensure free passage for migratory fish and will replace the counting ramp and electrodes as soon as possible. We will post an update on this page when the works have been completed. In the meantime, fish counts for the north pass remain unaffected, and will be posted as soon as available.
