About Freshwater Biological Association

The Freshwater Biological Association (FBA) is a leading UK-based organization dedicated to the study and conservation of freshwater ecosystems. Established in 1929, the FBA has been at the forefront of freshwater research, providing valuable insights into the biology and ecology of aquatic environments.

Our core activities include:

• Research and Monitoring: We conduct extensive research on freshwater species and habitats, contributing to the understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem health.
• Education and Training: The FBA offers a range of training courses and educational resources aimed at enhancing knowledge and skills in freshwater biology.
• Publications: We publish scientific journals, reports, and books that disseminate research findings and promote best practices in freshwater management.
• Conservation Initiatives: The FBA actively engages in conservation projects that aim to protect and restore freshwater habitats across the UK.

Our vision is to be a leading authority on freshwater biology, fostering collaboration among scientists, policymakers, and the public to ensure the sustainable management of freshwater resources. We believe that healthy freshwater ecosystems are vital for biodiversity, human well-being, and climate resilience.

Join us in our mission to safeguard the future of our freshwater environments through research, education, and advocacy.
