Keeping Rivers Flowing

Each of us drink, wash, flush and waste more water than most other European countries. To meet this demand, too much water is taken from many of our rivers and groundwater. This is having a devastating impact, with some of our most important rivers, our chalk streams, drying up for much of their length. The Angling Trust is campaigning for less water to be sucked from these important habitats, for more water storage, fewer leaks, and more support to help us all use less water.

Predation

We are continually fighting for cormorants to be added to the general license. Read about our progress on cormorants, and other predators, here.

Clean & Healthy Water

Pollution from agriculture is killing our fish. The Angling Trust is fighting for better land management, better monitoring of water quality and proper enforcement to stop pollution from happening.

Standing Up For Fish & Fishing

Through partnerships, like the Missing Salmon Alliance, we are working towards a healthier future for our fish and an even better one for angling in the UK.

Reforming UK Fisheries Management

UK fisheries management, monitoring and enforcement must incorporate the interests and voices of sea anglers and we are pushing the Government to recognise us as valuable stakeholders.

Recreationally Important Species

From becoming leading ambassadors for science through our involvement in bluefin tuna and shark tagging programmes to supporting calls to protect our bass and wrasse, we are championing science, research, and best practice to secure the future of world class angling opportunities in the UK.

Marine Protected Areas

Healthy seas and abundant fish stocks are vital for the future of our sport. We are working hard with other stakeholders to ensure the voice of recreational anglers is accounted for to protect the future of our seas.
