Fisheries Enforcement Workshops
The Angling Trust’s Enforcement Team will be holding another three Fishery Enforcement Workshops (FEW’s), the first on December 10th 2024, with a further teo in the new year. A key element of our fisheries enforcement strategy is to upskill the angling community regarding the law and enforcement.
Fisheries Enforcement Workshops are funded by English freshwater fishing licence income. They are FREE to attend and an essential part of the effective enforcement process.
Training is provided by the Angling Trust Fisheries Enforcement Support Service’s policing professionals, Environment Agency fisheries enforcement officers and additional speakers who are all well versed in angling and the legal aspects that go with it.
Workshops are always well-attended by local neighbourhood and specialist wildlife crime police officers, and Agency enforcement staff, so are also a great place to meet your local contacts.
Sessions covered include:
- Fishing without permission and fish theft: Theft Act 1968
- Health & Safety
- Risk Assessment
- Conflict Resolution
- Environment Agency fisheries enforcement – how it works
- Best Practice for angling club bailiffs and fishery rules
- Rod licence compliance – how we can all help
- Practical demonstration of what to look for: nets, lines and traps
