Strategic Partners

 

The Angling Trust works in partnership with the Environment Agency to deliver a range of services, funded through fishing licence income, to engage, advise and educate anglers. These include getting more people fishing more often; supporting fisheries enforcement through the Voluntary Bailiff Service and Building Bridges project to educate and integrate migrant anglers; advising on predation matters and administering the Angling Improvement Fund to provide funding for clubs and fisheries to protect fish and fisheries; running awareness campaigns to halt the spread of invasive non-native species; and supporting the development and professionalisation of clubs to make them more accessible to new anglers.

The National Angling Strategic Services contract was first awarded to the Angling Trust in 2015 after a competitive tendering exercise. The new arrangements are in place until March 2028.

The Environment Agency has a duty to maintain, improve and develop fisheries. More information on its activities can be found in their annual fisheries report.
