The exciting projects were delivered in collaboration with 12 different partners, including local angling clubs, rivers trusts and land owners.
The Fisheries Improvement Programme (known as FIP) was brought together by the Environment Agency through investing over £1.3 million of rod licence income in projects over the last 12 months. The funding has helped to enhance fisheries, boost fish stocks and make improvements for anglers, angling facilities and the environment.
