Examples of navigation authorities

The "Big Three"

  • Canal and River Trust – charity replacing British Waterways in managing the majority of the canals and many navigable rivers[1]
  • Environment Agency – environmental regulatory body, manages its waterways as part of its water management obligations.[2]
  • Broads Authority – has status similar to other British national parks but alone amongst them also exercises a navigation function. The "Sandford Principle" as applied in other national parks does not apply here.[3]
