Broads Society

The Broads Society is a waterway society in Norfolk and Suffolk, England, UK. The society was founded in 1956 to provide a focus for anyone interested in the region, e.g. navigators, naturalists, farmers, residents and visitors. It campaigned in the 1960s and 1970s for special status for The Broads, and in 1988 the area was given special protection, a status similar to that of a National Park after the passing of the Norfolk & Suffolk Broads Act 1988. The Broads Society became a joint owner of the eel sett at Candle Dyke which is the last working sett in the East of England.
