Commercial fishers work under a complex tapestry of regulation that often tells them what, how, when and how much they can catch. Regulations controlling the activities of anglers are fewer and looser. Both groups are "policed" by the Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities around the English coast. Generally there is a fairly amicable relationship between commercial fisherfolk and the IFCAs, even when they are enforcing what the industry consider illogical regulations. In some parts of the country it is possible for anglers to catch as much or more of some species of fish as a commercial fisher is permitted - this is a contentious issue. One group are making a living from fishing while the other is doing it for pleasure. In the middle are charter boats who are angling commercially. Some anglers do not feel that they should be subject to the same inspection regime as commercial fishermen. We disagree and we support and encourage the IFCAs to continue to monitor the activities of charter boats and marine anglers in a fair and even-handed manner.
