Standing Up for Fish & Fishing
Your Angling Trust Campaigns team are actively collaborating with organisations across the UK on a variety of projects with the aim of improving the future for fish and the voice of recreational angling in Britain.
Missing Salmon Alliance
Launched in November 2019 and in collaboration with the Atlantic Salmon Trust and the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust, the Missing Salmon Alliance aims to pinpoint the causes of the decline of our precious Atlantic salmon through the Likely Suspects Framework investigative initiative.
National Crucian Conservation Project
Launched in May 2014 at the Angling Trust Coarse Fish Conference, the National Conservation Project (NCCP) aims to promote the conservation of the species and its habitat whilst also encouraging the development of well-managed crucian fisheries.
Access
Access to green and blue places provide many benefits in terms of our mental and our physical wellbeing. But we live on a small island and greater access to nature can create conflict and disputes between different users. As anglers we need to foster productive relationships with all water users in order to provide greater access to the natural environment whilst protecting our blue spaces and the interests of anglers, fisheries, and riparian owners. The Angling Trust is working to provide a healthier future for our fish and even better one for angling as major recreational user of our waters.
