Projects In 2007 the Recreational Fishing Alliance of NSW completed an award winning, government and industry funded project to educate recreational anglers and the broader community about rock fishing safety. This included the development, production and distribution of free rock fishing safety DVDs, posters, pamphlets, brochures and television commercials, as well as community seminars targeting non-English speaking anglers. The RFA also disseminates information within the fishing community, distributing electronic bulletins linking anglers to information on draft zoning plans, meeting dates, consultation processes and a raft of other relevant information to encourage anglers to get involved and participate in the well-being of the fishery. Recently the RFA of NSW has secured funding from the Federal and NSW governments and invaluable support from the recreational fishing industry for projects such as a ‘future leaders’ training program, safety DVDs focusing on freshwater/saltwater fishing, boating safety and policy development for fishing access in NSW.
