Well the first draft of the recreational sea anglers strategy has been published and controversy over the document has ensued. Many anglers see this document as beneficial for the sea anglers of our country. However many including myself think that quite the opposite is true. I believe that the rsa strategy could potentially be damaging to sea angling.
Within the sea anglers strategy measures of control over angling are discussed and these include the possible introduction of a sea angling licence and restrictions on anglers catches through bag limits. With little or no evidence available of bag limits having a conservationist effect on fish stocks and the potential impact such measures could have on the uk's charter fleets and angling this measure I feel should be campaigned against and removed from the sea anglers strategy.
To read more of my thoughts on this issue please visit the rsa strategy page of the whitby sea anglers website.
