Plans to improve rapids and habitats in the River Wye at Symonds Yat have been given the go-ahead by Herefordshire Council.
The proposals were submitted by the British Canoe Association and concerned an island and rapids on the river immediately south of Symonds Yat East.
Temporary barriers will be built from materials from the riverbank.
Permanent limestone groynes will conserve the rapids, stabilise the island and cut erosion.
