British Canoeing is the national governing body for canoeing in the UK. The main purpose of British Canoeing is to “inspire people to pursue a passion for paddling; for health, enjoyment, friendship, challenge and achievement”. Canoeing and other paddle sports are prominent on the Exe especially around the quay where there is a strong presence, this makes British Canoeing an important partner for the EEMP.
The British Canoeing representative on the EEMP is Peter Thorn, Regional Waterways Adviser, South West
