Fish Legal (previously known as the Anglers' Conservation Association, founded in 1948) was set up to protect all coastal and inland waters in the United Kingdom from pollution and other damage. Water pollution, over-abstraction and habitat damage kills hundreds of thousands of fish each year, leaving a huge impact on aquatic ecosystems and local economies, not to mention the enjoyment of all kinds of anglers. Fish Legal aims to stop this damage happening and fights for compensation for our members when it does.

We are usually fighting around 60 legal cases on behalf of our members at any one time. We make polluters pay hundreds of thousands of pounds in compensation every year and secure injunctions to stop further damage.  We can only do this with your support. If you care about the health of our rivers, seas, canals and lakes, then please support our work as an individual member. If you own or lease fishing rights of any sort, as a private individual, fishery owner or angling club, then you should join to benefit from our unique legal protection.

In England, we have entered into a partnership with Angling Trust, the new governing body for all angling and you can join Fish Legal only by joining the Angling Trust first.

If you live, or your club or fishery is based in Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales, then you can join Fish Legal by calling 01568 620447 or visit out our website  www.fishlegal.net

Please support our work. We can only make polluters pay with your backing.
