Angling Participation
Angling Participation Research
Developing a better understanding of angling participation is one of the most important aspects of this research. Angling is often regarded as contributing to social, economic and environmental development in the UK. However, there is surprisingly little evidence to support such claims. We wanted to know why people go fishing, what their participation involves, how their participation delivers personal and community benefits, and the key issues likely to affect future participation.
How does angling fit into your life?
Data collection is now closed.We asked anglers to share their views about angling, and the role angling plays in their life. They did this in a number fo ways:
- Comment on key themes such as impact on health or the environment. Read what other anglers have said
- Tell us about your club, project or organisation and what it delivers
Progress over the years..
In 2009 we had 2,400+ responses to the angling participation questionnaire.
In 2010 we focused on interviews with anglers and angling stakeholders. Find out more about what we did.
Angler Interviews
Phone and email-based interviews with anglers in England and Scotland commenced in March 2010 and continued until May 2011.Anglers who were not being interviewed could contribute to the research by commenting on key issues, or telling us about angling organisations they are involved with using our Project Comment tool.
