Did you know you could accidentally be spreading invasive species? Water primrose, quagga mussels and so-called ‘killer shrimp’ are just a few invasive non-native species that can be devastating to British plants, fish and ecosystems. Last year we spent £180,000 trying to remove topmouth gudgeon from our fisheries - a particularly nasty invader which damages fisheries and outcompetes many of our native species. As a result, we’re hoping the species will be wiped out in Britain by 2017. So what can you do to help? Protect your fishery: check, clean and dry your kit. Check your equipment, boots and clothing for living organisms. Clean and wash all equipment, boots and clothes thoroughly. Dry all equipment and clothing. Find out more about the check, clean and dry campaign

Saving salmon stocks from decline Salmon stocks across much of the country, and Europe, are in decline. We have been working with our partners to develop a 5-point approach to help address this by: • improving marine survival • reducing exploitation by nets and rods • removing barriers to migration and enhancing habitat • safeguarding sufficient river flows • maximising spawning success by improving water quality This new approach builds on the work we and our partners have done. For example, since 2009 we’ve worked together to install 82 fish passes on England’s main salmon rivers. Our Deputy Director of Fisheries, Sarah Chare, has written a blog on how to restore salmon stocks. Read Sarah Chare’s blog

Don’t cheat on anglers! Please ensure you are fishing legally and don’t do anything that may harm fish and other wildlife. Check the rules for freshwater fishing. If you are fishing for coarse fish with 3 or 4 rods, you must have 2 licences. Find information on where to fish at www.fishinginfo.co.uk from the Angling Trust.
