Cappagh Browne Supports Southern Water’s Yellow Fish Campaign

Cappagh Browne teams are supporting Southern Water’s Yellow Fish campaign, helping to install gully markers across coastal communities as part of a wider initiative to raise environmental awareness and protect local water quality.

Carrying a simple but powerful message, the markers remind people:

Only Rain Down the Drain

Many people are unaware that water entering road drains can flow directly into local rivers, streams and coastal waters. This means that litter, oils, paint, chemicals and other pollutants discarded into gullies can have a direct impact on water quality, wildlife and the environment we all share.

By placing highly visible Yellow Fish markers beside roadside drains, the campaign aims to encourage people to think twice before pouring, dropping or disposing of anything that could harm local waterways. The initiative highlights the important role that everyone can play in protecting beaches, bathing waters and coastal ecosystems.

Working alongside Southern Water and local councils, Cappagh Browne teams are installing markers at locations across the South Coast, helping to turn awareness into action and support positive environmental behaviours within local communities.

Chris Sturgess, Project Manager at Cappagh Browne Utilities, said:

“The message is simple, but it’s an important one. These markers provide a visible reminder that the choices we make every day can have an impact on the environment. By raising awareness, we can help encourage small changes in behaviour that collectively make a real difference to protecting our waterways, beaches and coastline.”

The Yellow Fish campaign forms part of ongoing efforts to improve public understanding of how everyday actions affect the environment and the quality of our watercourses.

Cappagh Browne is proud to support Southern Water and local authority partners in delivering this important initiative, helping to raise awareness, encourage responsible behaviour and protect the coastal environments enjoyed by communities across the region.
