We the Anglers of the United Kingdom fear that the constant failures of the Environment Agency to respond to Fishery Crime is a real threat to the future of our sport.

We therefore call on the Rt Hon George Eustice MP, Secretary of Sate for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to initiate a full enquiry into the workings of the Fisheries Enforcement Department.

The angling community is extremely concerned that the Environment Agency's statutory duty of care to angling is not being met by the Fisheries Enforcement Department.
