Education

The future of Ireland's vital natural resources depends upon an awareness by the public of fisheries environmental and conservation issues. The Board seeks to address this through awareness campaigns and the education of the young in the region. In addition the Board recognises the importance of angling as a recreational activity and actively encourages the sport. We organise and run many angling tuition workshops covering topics and activities such as rod handling skills, fly tying, environmental field studies including classroom talks and presentations.

We aim over 2002 to build this section of our website into a valuable resource for students to conduct college and school research, We will feature a section on Science and Research and a Kids Zone where we will have quizzes and other topics of  educational value.
