Here's 3 things I tried which gives an indication of how much use you are, either as an angler or as a contributor to the local and wider community.

1. Divide the number of fish you have KEPT in the last 12 months by the number of times you have been. Mine is 10 keepers in 6 visits (all on my summer jollies - I ain't been since) so 10 divided by 6 is 1.6. Anything over 1, I would suggest, is pretty good.

2. Divide the number of fish you have KEPT in the last 12 months by the amount you have spent in local fishing shops. For me that's 10 again divided by £75 which equals 0.13. The figure of 1+ would be the one that said you were taking more out of the sea than putting back into your local community. I look forward to meeting you but I'm not holding my breath.

3. Divide the keepers again by the amount you have spent on fishing trips and holidays away from your local community. I reckon thats 10 divided by £500 or 0.02. The smaller the figure the more you are supporting all manner of businesses, from travel firms to aeroplanes to hotels to bars.

Obviously your figures might be guesses but probably accurate enough to prove the point that we put much more back than we take out. If Les wants someone to collate the figures I'll happily volunteer.

Proud contributer, Crappy angler lol

Mines shameful!
1. 2/24 = 0.083
2. 2/400 = 0.005
3. 2/40 = 0.05

Thinking of new hobby looking at that score
