Nevin Hunter
Training Facilitator - FishNET (Fisheries National Enforcement Training)
Fisheries Enforcement Support Service
Nevin joined the Angling Trust as the Regional Enforcement Support Manager for South-West England in 2015. Before joining the FESS, he was an Angling Trust Key Volunteer for over a year, working on fisheries enforcement workshops, the Voluntary Bailiff Service inductions and Operation Leviathan. His knowledge as a retired Police officer and former head of the UK National Wildlife Crime Unit has proved invaluable across the South-West and the wider team in the fight to support fisheries enforcement.
In September 2024 Nevin moved to take on a new role as the Training Facilitator, leading the work of FESS with partner agencies to devise and deliver FishNET (Fisheries National Enforcement Training), a new and exciting overarching strategy to support fisheries enforcement. The first phase of this will see the development of an online Learning Management System (LMS) aimed at those across the angling community with an interest in supporting fisheries enforcement and aims to deliver this in Spring 2025.
Nevin said: “The professionalism demonstrated by the Angling Trust throughout my time with the National Wildlife Crime Unit was inspirational and I am delighted to now have the opportunity to work for such a forward-thinking organisation. I fished as a boy and am looking forward to getting more involved and back into angling, but anticipate being busy!”
