Repairs underway to the eroded canal bank on Basingstoke Canal, Surrey, UK. These will be filled with silt from the canal bottom to improve the bank.

---

The canal bank in this area has been damaged because of high use by people and dogs, and also as a result of non-native signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) burying into the bank.
