Release
The
move by the four main UK freshwater recreational angling organisations
to work together to create a single body representing their interests
is strongly welcomed by the National Federation of Sea Anglers
(NFSA).
The NFSA has
been involved in the early stages of the discussions but following a
cut in funding from Sport England earlier this year is currently
introducing a new subscription structure to ensure financial viability.
By spring next year our financial position will
be clear and we will formally consider joining the new body after
consulting our membership.
During the
intervening period the NFSA representing sea angling interests, intends
to work closely with the new body.
In the
meantime the NFSA is seeking closer co-operation between the various
specialist sea angling organisations and will continue to concentrate
on RSA issues, particularly the critical need to conserve and rebuild
fishstocks.
