Better environment, healthier fisheries outlines how we will take our work further. We are determined to create a better, healthier environment for fisheries and for people. |
Fishing can take you to some of our most beautiful places and give you privileged close-ups of our rarest and most interesting wildlife. It?s also a great introduction to the environment and wildlife for inner city people. |
Our figures show that nearly four million people went angling last year leading to 20,000 jobs and total spending of a huge £3 billion annually on the sport - one project alone in Wales generated almost £30 million through angling tourism. |
The presence of fish and angling demonstrates a healthy environment -our strategy outlines how we will meet new challenges such as climate change and invasive species while increasing tourism, encouraging greater participation in fishing and continuing to create a better quality of life for local communities. |
