Bathing Water Consultation Fish Spawning at Risk
The Angling Trust and Fish Legal are responding to proposals in a consultation on the reform of Bathing Water Regulations by DEFRA and the Welsh Government.
We need anglers and angling clubs to ACT NOW to stop a massive loophole in the proposed new regulations which could see canoes, kayaks, rowing boats and even powered craft designated as ‘bathers’, disturbing fish and fishing on rivers where currently no navigation is allowed.
Read on to see how we are responding and what you and your club can do to help stop this:
The public consultation ends on December 23rd so please take action NOW!
