Glasgow Caledonian University is undertaking an important
study on angling
on behalf for the Scottish Executive. The study seeks to
assess the economic
contribution of angling to the Scottish economy, as well as
specific regions
within Scotland. At the moment, policy towards freshwater
fisheries has to
developed and initiated against a background of very limited
information
about the economic contribution of angling and this study
seeks to redress
this situation.
Many angling groups and other bodies have been calling for
this type of work
to be undertaken as it could have a potentially significant
impact of future
fisheries policy development. Rather crucially we require the
assistance of
anglers and are issuing an appeal for anglers to complete an
on-line
questionnaire.
It would be of great help if you could help to disseminate
this appeal
amongst those in your organization as well as those who
use/access your
site. In addition, we would be very grateful if it was somehow
possible to
enable a link on your website that would lead to the
questionnaire on our
server, however we understand if this is not practical. What
we are most
concerned about is the volume of replies we get and obviously
if we can get
links on websites like yours, more anglers will complete our
questionnaire.
In the enclosed file we have produced some basic information
on the study.
The questionnaire can be found at:-

Please feel free to give it a go!
Thank you very much for your assistance and please do not
hesitate to
contact us if you require further details.
