RSA Strategy Consultation Coming In November 2007
At a recent meeting between Sea Angling Representatives and DEFRA in London the first draft of the Recreational Sea Angling Strategy was released. This top secret document was not supposed to be for the eyes of the general fishing community until its release for consultation. The document was been leaked onto several internet forums, allegedly by a member of the Sea Anglers Conservation Network who received it via a mass email of the groups members with the message attached that the document was for the eyes of the groups membership only - A membership of less than 600.
The document itself gives a background to the strategy and outlines numerous issues allegedly beneficial to sea angling. However many anglers after reading the document are finding there is little in the document of any benefit at all to anglers and a whole lot that could be considered quite damaging to the sport.
