Details

The aim of this project was to create high resolution maps of recreational sea angling activity using all relevant data (angling literature, directed surveys, and local/fisher knowledge) which can be used for marine spatial planning and managing impacts on marine protected areas.

This report provides insights into the spatial distribution of recreational sea angling in England. The research was commissioned to support the development and implementation of marine plan policies, and to assist the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) and Inshore Fisheries Conservation Authorities (IFCAs) to manage impacts on Marine Protected Areas and uses of the marine environment.
