Take a look at:

It appears that 'Fishing' litter was the 3rd highest of the groups that were counted, at just under 15% of all the litter collected, in total an average of some 2,195 pieces of litter per kilometer of beach were studied.
This is surely not good news and hopefully the AT will be embarking on a programme to address this poor situation.
Not that Coarse anglers are probably any better, but this litter problem has gone on for far too long - it is high time that the organising bodies, clubs and associations actually did something positive to put angling in a better light.
