Be the person for your stretch of river.
You already slow down past it. You already notice when the grass is long. Adopting a mooring just makes it official — your name on its page, first to hear when something needs doing, and the quiet satisfaction of a stretch of the Great Ouse that's better because you're near it.
Keep it kind
A strim when it's shaggy, a bag for the stray litter, an eye on the rings. Nothing heroic — just the small things, done by someone nearby.
Hear about it first
When anyone scans the QR on the mooring sign and reports an issue, it comes to you and the moorings team — while they are still standing on the bank.
Know when the river rises
Your mooring's gauge starts climbing? You'll be the first to know — check the ropes, warn a neighbour, be the someone.
The sign does the work
Every GOBA mooring sign gets a QR code and its what3words address. Standing at the mooring and something's not right? Scan the sign — it opens that mooring's page — and report it in one tap. The person who's adopted it sees it. That's the whole system: no forms, no phone numbers, no "I'll email when I'm home".
Try it now: open any mooring page below on your phone and scan the QR on screen — it works exactly like the one on the bank will.
Waiting for someone like you
These moorings don't have a local pair of eyes yet.
Every mooring has an adopter — the river's in good hands.
Sponsor the stretch on your doorstep
Marinas, boatyards and riverside pubs can adopt a mooring too — your name on its page, a well-kept frontage for every passing boat, and the goodwill of 1,500 members who notice these things.
