Fisheries and angling action plans
Our waterway Fisheries and Angling Action Plans were developed during 2015 following a nationwide series of stakeholder meetings. These included numerous angling clubs, the Rivers Trust, the Angling Trust and the Environment Agency. The plans have identified the key fisheries and angling issues that need to be addressed:
- Retaining existing angling customers and attracting new ones
- Developing and improving access to the fishery
- The opportunities to engage with local communities
- Taking advantage of the opportunities for volunteering and adoptions
- Improving communication between us and our customers
- Funding
- Fish passage and migration
- Predation and non native species
- Fish stocks and fisheries management
- Fisheries and water quality and quantity
