Everyone with an interest in black bream is invited to an Angling for Sustainability workshop on 22 April 2024 in Poole. This will be a chance to learn the early results of our study tracking black bream across Dorset and the wider South Coast. The project is already revealing insights into bream behaviour and movement, including on nesting sites off the Dorset coast.
As a Fisheries Industry Science Partnership, Angling for Sustainability is a collaboration between scientists and the fishing community. We recognise the vast amount of knowledge that the community has developed, so we are keen to combine our scientific data with information from people with first-hand experience of black bream in southern England. As part of the workshop, we will invite you to contribute any information that you are comfortable sharing.
We will also share information on other ways you can get involved, including reporting records of tagged bream. Email to secure your place: fishtracking@plymouth.ac.uk.
Angling for Sustainability is led by the University of Plymouth and is delivered in partnership with the Professional Boatmans Association, Natural England, the Southern Inshore Fisheries Conservation Authority and the Angling Trust. The project is funded by Defra.
