Edition 2. 1998 WELCOME TO THE RIVER THAMES The Environment Agency acts as the Guardian of the Environment, protecting and improving it for future generations by regulation and direct action. The Agency's Thames Region, which embraces the Navigation and Recreation Service provided by the former National Rivers Authority, encourages the pursuit of a variety of recreational activities along the 136 miles of the freshwater River Thames for which it is the managing authority. It achieves this through the efforts of lock staff and Navigation Inspectors throughout the length of the non-tidal river. The Thames is an attraction for numerous activities: anglers, boating enthusiasts, canoeists, dinghy sailors and yachtsmen, holidaymakers in hired craft, naturalists, oarsmen, swimmers and sub-aqua divers and walkers. With so many interests competing for space, is the river large enough to accommodate them all without conflict and risk to personal safety? The answer is yes - provided that all river users are safety conscious and practise good river manners. One of the Agency's jobs is to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to enjoy their activity, without impairing the enjoyment of others.
