Mike Fox Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) All, I found David Mitchell's talk to be fascinating at our club meeting on Thursday 2nd February 2012, and I did talk to him afterwards about some of the points raised. It's a complex topic, and I am starting to see why the Angling Trust is spread thinly, particularly relating to restoration of fish stocks available to recreational sea anglers. In summary, my understanding of the 4 main issues presented were: - Multiple "battlegrounds" on which to fight; - Multiple stakeholders to involve and influence; - Complex legal framework at local, national and international levels; - Lack of funding to help make major achievements. I must admit to struggling with all of the abbreviations and public bodies and individuals (and I guess others would have too), so it was difficult to understand much about the key players in his discussions. As such, I think it might be useful: - To help clarify WHO are the main stakeholders (which ones have I missed?); - To have one single place on the forum to check a bit of jargon or abbreviation; - What AVAILABLE METHODS do members of THIS club believe exist for the Angling Trust to be able to achieve change (which ones have I missed?) I will insert a few more, as suggestions come in! Please help. Please let me know if I missed anyone or any valid method!
