Protecting Our Passion, Developing Our Future
England’s coastline offers some of the most diverse and rewarding sea angling opportunities in the world. From the rugged shores of Cornwall to the expansive beaches of Northumberland, our seas are home to a rich variety of species and habitats. But these waters face increasing pressures—from pollution and overfishing to habitat loss and climate change.
At the Angling Trust, we’re committed to safeguarding the future of sea angling and our seas. As the recognised national governing body for angling in England, we work tirelessly to protect fish stocks, promote sustainable practices, and develop the sport for generations to come.
