Anglers in MV defend themselves: Aal catch ban threatens traditional hobby!

In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, fishing is more than just a popular hobby-it has developed into a real boom. Like N-tv , the passion for fishing is growing, especially after the restrictions during restrictions the pandemic. The State Angler Association (LAV), which represents around 47,500 anglers, recorded 753 new members last year, including 454 children. This clearly shows that fishing is very popular again.

Despite the growing community, there are massive concerns among the anglers, especially with regard to the ban on eel catch. Since 2023, there has been a ban on fishing for eels in the maritime area, which has severely affected many anglers. The LAV has an active fight against the possible expansion of this ban on inland waters. The concern that the eel catch ban could soon also affect lakes and rivers is driven around the anglers, such as the Nordkurier holds.

Current developments and conferences

The fear of further restrictions is present. Discussions about general fishing bans in certain water sections, such as on the Recknitz, are underway. Particularly criticism is directed against the planning of a five -year fishing ban on renaturation work, which is incomprehensible in many places. The LAV demands that requirements and restrictions must remain within the framework so that the anglers can continue to pursue their passion.

the eel - an endangered water system

But there are not only discussions about the catch rights. The eel has suffered greatly in recent years. The Federal Ministry of Nutrition and Agriculture (BMEL) has already set a closed season for eels that applies from September 15, 2023 to March 14, 2024. This measure is no coincidence: the state of preservation of the European eel is critical. According to the International Council for Marine Research (ICES), the emergence of young (Glasaals) achieved alarming lows in 2022.

worldwide efforts to refresh the eel stocks are crucial in order to obtain the species not only in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, but also in other coastal states. From 2009 to the present day, almost 100 tons of glass and set rooms were exposed to inland and coastal waters, a step that is considered successfully.

These measures and discussions are all about the order of an order: to promote the eel and fishing in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and to make them sustainable. In the middle of these challenges and the growing angler community, the state angler association remains an important player who is strong for the interests of its members.
