This article is part of a series dedicated to the presentation of angling associations across Europe. For this edition, we introduce the EAA member from Denmark: Danmarks Sportsfiskerforbund – The Danish Sportfishing Association.
Danmarks Sportsfiskerforbund represents the interests of 121 angling clubs active across Denmark. It gathers about 18,800 members from a truly ‘angling nation’ as around 10.3% of the Danish population goes fishing at least once a year.
The association summarised its strategy for the upcoming years in a document untitled ‘Strategy 2020-2025’. Danmarks Sportsfiskerforbund strives for sustainable recreational fishing by working for healthy fish stocks, environment protection and more wild fish stocks. To do so, the association wants anglers’ voice to be heard in the making of fishing legislation but also supports initiatives from its members which are keen to directly become actors for change.
