"The 35-mile River Ouse, which flows through West and East Sussex, has made environmental history by becoming England’s first waterway to receive legal rights. This landmark decision placed the river alongside an international group of waterways that granted similar protections in New Zealand, Colombia, and Canada.

This pioneering move recognizes the river as a living entity with intrinsic rights to exist. The Ouse, which runs to the historic town of Newhaven on England’s southeast coast, now stands as a powerful symbol for environmental reform in the United Kingdom."
