The NFSA (National Federation of Sea Anglers) has now been incorporated in to the Angling Trust organisation. They are the key representatives for the sport of Angling here in the UK. As much as they act on our behalf in the promotion of the sport they also work hard to encourage good practices for the retention of a good name for sea anglers and to conserve the environment with which we interact and rely on.

As an angler, whether a member of an organisation or not you will need to abide by the rules of the sport as recommended by the NFSA. The key points which you will need to know are outlined in this section.

There is also a Scottish Federation of Sea Anglers, a Welsh Federation of Sea Anglers and an Irish Federation of Sea Anglers. Should you require details more specific to Scotland, Wales or Ireland, these organisations should be able to help you.
