Mission statement

• Obey and respect the local regulations and conventions that govern fishing in your chosen area.

• Purposefully conduct yourself in a manner such as to minimise any negative impacts on the environment.

• Being mindful of anchoring and speed restrictions is as important as preventing littering and habitat destruction.

• The fishes environment should be protected as well as the fish.

• Do not indulge in littering, in particular with discarded tackle.

• Disposal offal and unwanted bait should be undertaken in a manner that is both environmentally sound and publicly acceptable.

• Participate where possible in scientific, educational and community programmes that benefit the fishery or recreational anglers.

• Fish should be killed quickly and should be prepared and preserved in such a manner as to minimise spoilage and waste.

• Where a fish is not wanted it should be returned in such a manner as maximises its chances of survival.

• Wanton destruction of undesired species is unacceptable.
