There are numerous reasons why we should protect the beautiful birds, their families and their nests. 

Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981: In the UK, swans are protected under this act, which makes it illegal to intentionally harm, kill, or take wild birds, including swans, their eggs, or nests. This act provides broad protection to all wild bird species in the country.

Protecting swans and their nests from disturbances caused by fishing requires a multi-faceted approach that includes education, regulation, habitat management, community involvement, collaboration with fishing communities, and ongoing monitoring and research. By working together, it is possible to ensure that both fishing activities and swan conservation can coexist sustainably.

This is just 2 of the reasons we need to protect the swans in all areas you get fishermen.
