Sharing the petition on Twitter, Mr Fry said: "Every chalk stream in the country is a fragile but boundlessly precious asset. Do please sign and retweet this petition, it means a lot."
Robert Shippey, from Extinction Rebellion, who started the petition, said "I'm so pleased that Stephen Fry has joined us in calling for action to restore the river.
"He uses his status to support good causes, and we should all be inspired to do what we can."
