NigelH Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Hi All Picking up on the results of Sea Angling 2012 and the discussion we had at the meeting on Thursday, the Angling Trust are using SA 2012 and the plight of bass to try and influence MP's at next weeks fishing debate. The AT are asking all sea anglers to email their MP as below. 5 minutes that might just make a difference, and way better than Christmas shopping! Angling Trust Briefs MPs on Fishing Industry Debate Please Contact Your MP NOW The Angling Trust is sending a briefing note to all MPs in advance of this year's Fishing Industry debate which will take place on 12th December in the House of Commons. You can download the briefing note from our website HERE. It would be a great help if you could contact your MP and ask them to make sure that they read and take note of the Angling Trust's briefing, and ask them to make time to attend the debate with a view to speaking in favour of the Recreational Sea Angling sector of the UK Fishing Industry, and the social, cultural and economic benefits that Recreational Sea Angling delivers to the wealth and well-being of the UK population. If you are unsure of who your MP is, please visitwww.writetothem.com and put in your postcode. You will be able to email your MP directly from the website.

Stuie Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Had a letter from my MP Robert Syms suggesting he understands the issues surrounding falling fish stocks and mentioning RSA's too. Still sceptical but we all need to keep nibbling away at the issues without becoming too depressed - or in my case grumpy...

Leicester Fisheagle Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Had a similar letter saying he would have a word with the Fisheries Minister about sustainable stocks. Don't know if it will do any good, but as Stuie says we have to keep trying. Allan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
