National Anglers Line Recycling Scheme arrives in the Broads

The Norfolk Broads is the UK’s largest inland fishery, attracting over 1.5 million angler days per year, the vast majority of which are visiting anglers or new or novice anglers. This project will bring the National Anglers Line Recycling scheme to the banks of the Broads.

The scheme will reduce the amount of fishing litter (line) in the Broads, protecting not only wildlife but reducing the build up of micro plastics in the ecosystem.

The grant received will be used towards the installation of 30 line bins at 20 locations across the Broads.

Grant Applicant: Broads Angling Services Group (CIC) Ltd

Funding received from Love the Broads: £750

Project completion date: April 2023 (at the latest)

What is sustainable tourism?

Sustainable tourism is all about making the lowest possible impact on the environment and local culture while helping to generate income and employment. It is responsible tourism that is both ecologically and culturally sensitive. It is about caring for the places we love to visit and protecting them for future generations. There is no point in having a beautiful landscape if it is spoilt by insensitive tourism. Love the Broads seeks to promote the protection and understanding of our wetland area’s wildlife, landscape, heritage and tourism which are all interlinked.
