Fishers For Conservation

Fishers For Conservation supports sustainable fishing and protecting the marine (and freshwater) environment. It is our experience that the vast majority of recreational fishers have a strong appreciation for the beauty and value of the places they go fishing. The FFC was formed to educate and inform recreational fishers of the need to protect our fragile environments to ensure that today's and future generations can enjoy the experience of fishing, sustainably, responsibly and with care.

For those of you who are already supporters of marine conservation the FFC is here to represent you - a united voice is a strong voice!. We need to let government and the community know that there is strong support from within the recreational fishing community for initiatives such as marine protected areas, appropriate regulation of fishing (including professional fishing), ecologically based management initiatives and pollution control.

The FFC supports use of tackle, techniques and practices that minimise the negative impacts of recreational fishing on the environment. We believe that the largest group of marine environment lovers in Australia (that's right us recreational fishers!) can make our positive input to the environment outweigh the negatives.
