Angling Improvement Fund – Predation
In the last 5 years the Environment Agency has invested over £1,000,000 of fishing licence income in over 300 Angling Improvement funded projects helping to protect fisheries across the country.
This fund is now open. There is £200,000 available. This round will remain open until all funds have been exhausted. This will enable us to respond to predation problems when they are most needed.
