VRFish, the peak body for recreational fishing in Victoria, is calling on Victorian recreational fishers to have their say on how we can make fishing better via the annual VRFish advocacy priorities survey.
VRFish Chair, Mr Rob Loats, said “Our latest survey gives every Victorian recreational fisher the opportunity to shape what VRFish advocates for on their behalf. We encourage all recreational fishers to provide their valuable input by completing the survey”.
The survey aims to gather the views of Victorian recreational fishers and understand the issues that are deeply important to the recreational fishing community.
Recreational fisher input and feedback collected from the survey will be used in advocacy planning to ensure VRFish is representing recreational fishers on the issues that matter most to them.
“Our last advocacy survey received almost 5,000 responses. We’re eager to hear from even more recreational fishers for this survey, as the more support VRFish has, the stronger our voice when advocating for better recreational fishing”.
Recreational fisher involvement in previous surveys activated successful campaigns to restore fish habitat in our waterways, access brand new fisheries, provide more support for fishing clubs, fix our boat ramps and secure a new native fish hatchery, to name a few.
“Have your say in our survey and let’s make fishing even better in Victoria”.
The survey is open from 7 May 2024 until 17 June 2024.
Recreational fishers can complete the survey here.
To say thanks for participating, one lucky respondent will win a $500 fishing store voucher.
