The RSPB signed a 50 year lease in 2017 to manage Whitton Island as a nature reserve, As a result there has been an increase in the number of birds not previously seen here.
It has become a nesting site for the avocet and a feeding/roosting site for species such as pink-footed geese, teal, wigeon and spoonbills.

The Market Weighton Navigation starts at Weighton Lock on the Humber Estuary and did run to Canal Head, a couple of miles short of Market Weighton. Today, the Canal is only navigable at best as far as Sod House Lock, 6 miles upstream.
