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.


Fishing Safety

Rockfishing holds many rewards for everyone from the experienced angler looking for the next quality catch to the beginner who just wants to get away from it all and get back to nature.It also has just as many dangers which every angler needs to take into account and prepare for.

The RFA of NSW, in association with the Department of Sport and Recreation, prepared a DVD and fact sheets for anglers to access at any time.

The project was funded by the Recreational Fishing Saltwater Trust, NSW Sport & Recreation, Australian National Sportfishing Association and the fishing tackle industry.
