Yellow Fish

Only Rain Down the Drain

Many people are unaware that most storm drains lead directly to the river, taking whatever goes down the drain into the water. This can lead to pollution of the river and this will have a serious impact on fish and other wildlife that live in or enter the river. Our Yellow Fish campaign got students out in organised groups marking drains to raise awareness that it should only be 'Rain Down the Drain'.
