Fisheries
Awareness & 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 and not so
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 and 2003 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.
