NE: On the eve of the Angling Trust’s National Fishing Week (24 July - 2 Aug) – designed to encourage newcomers to take up fishing - Natural England has highlighted the important role that angling often plays in inspiring an appreciation of the natural environment and the need to look after it.
 
An appreciation for all types of angling can raise awareness & increase respect for the many different kinds of wildlife that depend on fish for nourishment and survival – from mammals & birds to insects.  Equally, it can generate support to campaign for better quality freshwater, which will establish healthy breeding & spawning grounds for fish and amphibians.
 
Natural England is leading the STREAM and LivingRiver projects, which benefit the wildlife and landscapes in & around the main tributaries and river valleys of the River Avon in Wiltshire. It is also helping to shape the Marine & Coastal Bill that is currently working its way through Parliament.
