In collaboration with the Bass Anglers' Sportfishing Society (BASS), the Angling Trust is pleased to announce that government funding through the Fisheries and Seafood Scheme will be provided to support its work on Fisheries Management Plans (“FMPs”) through the appointment of an independent research consultant.  This is an important breakthrough for UK sea angling and is the first tangible benefit flowing from the Angling Trust’s successful campaign for recreational sea fishing to be officially recognised in the Fisheries Act 2020 as a legitimate stakeholder in UK fisheries.

Angling Trust Sea Angling Regional Voluntary Group (RVG)

On Thursday 16th December the first meeting was held of the RVG. This group brings together recreational sea anglers from every coastal area of England and the Midlands with a view of ensuring that local issues are identified and actioned. It will link to the strategic Marine Advisory Group effectively acting as its ‘eyes and ears on the ground’ and will incorporate the current Marine Regions of Wessex/Isle of Wight, Wyvern and Sussex whilst ensuring other areas of the coastline and the Midlands are represented.

The group will look at building participation and competitions, supporting environmental opportunities and identifying local issues impacting upon sea angling, particularly where these could reflect on wider national implications. It is also hoped to build good links with the Marine Management Organisation and local Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities to encourage the inclusion of local recreational sea angling views within in decision-making. Lastly, the group hopes to identify funding opportunities following the implementation of the Fisheries Act 2020.

For the first time, recreational sea anglers nationally will have a mechanism for their local concerns and ambitions to be identified and actioned, reinforcing the commitment of Angling Trust CEO Jamie Cook for sea angling to develop positively in the years to come.
