Fishing Focus is published by DEFRA and aims to keep Recreational Sea Anglers and the catching sector informed of the issue that DEFRA are working upon which will affect them.
Of particular interest is news of a consultation to be launched shortly which will look at DEFRA's management of the UK fisheries over the next 20 years.
With increasing recognition of the importance of the UK Recreational Sea Fisheries, it is important that anglers and angling organisations provide input to the consultation which will guide fishery mangement for further ahead than can be imagined.
