Again complex, but boat/shore anglers need to have a say or they will be ignored and possible management measures bought in in years to come.

Tony Blair signed eu agreement in 2000 on returning rivers etc to the way they were called the European water framework directive so this is a follow on to that so after the floods caused by no dredgeing of rivers and this is why I will vote to be out of Europe
