Sea Angling Licence looks ever more likely

More than one million sea anglers will be forced for the first time to pay to fish under Government plans for a licensing system.

Ministers are proposing charges to cover beach anglers, boat fishing and charter trips, overturning a British tradition enshrined in common law nearly 800 years ago.

David Miliband, the Environment Secretary, wants to use the licence fee to help manage fish stocks. It would also be used to protect and improve shore access and car parks, provide launch sites for small boats and create artificial reefs. Part of the money would be used to administer the scheme itself.

Please read the article below for full details :

Derrick Amief, who has run Gorleston Tackle Centre for 22 years, said: “As an Englishman it is part of our history that we can fish the sea. It is like out freedom of speech - a right.”

He said he agreed with the fresh water licence, which costs £24.50 a year, because the money provides a service, including filling rivers and lakes with fish.

But he said: “We can't restock the sea. Nature restocks the sea. The fish don't belong to anybody. They don't belong to the government or the council. If I have to pay this licence I will then expect the government to restock the sea.”

And he said if anglers had to pay the fee, trawlers should pay a proportional amount for the quantity of fish they catch.

“If a boat comes along and takes two million fish away is it going to pay a proportional rate for all those fish? How much would they pay -£1/2m?

No that's great Alan. Copy and paste the info far and wide mate. Too few people know what's coming although I sense from reading around recently that more people are getting the message.
