 | Another £400,000 of rod licence money is being made available to the Angling Improvement Fund (AIF) to support around 160 new angling projects over the next four months in time for a busy spring and summer at fishing venues across the country. The Angling Trust, which administers the fund on behalf of the Environment Agency, is seeking applications by January 13th from |
angling providers such as clubs, commercial fisheries, local authorities and charities.
The themes this time are:
Fish protection and predation management:
About 20 projects will be funded for work such as otter fencing, protection from fish-eating birds, fish refuges or even marginal planting or installation of aerators.
Project design and development, and workforce/volunteer training:
Around 20 projects will receive grants towards the costs of design work, disability access planning, risk assessments and advice needed to get improvements to facilities off the ground. Other work in this theme can include fish stock surveys and training for fisheries staff, club officials and volunteers.
