Take part in our online invasive species survey and help stop the spread

Invasive non-native species are increasingly present in our waters and can have a significant impact on our fish and fishing.

The Angling Trust has launched a survey to get a better understanding of where anglers are fishing both in the UK and abroad, and anglers’ awareness of invasive non-native species.

The findings will be used to improve the information available to anglers on invasive species and inform our ongoing work in this area to assist fishing venues, clubs and individuals in invasive species prevention and control.

Participation in this survey is completely anonymous and the questions posed will not allow individuals to be identified. The questionnaire should take around 15 minutes to complete.

The survey can be found HERE.

More information on Invasive Non-Native Species can be found HERE.
