WHAT IS THE EUROPEAN EEL ANGLERS ASSOCIATION?

As its name implies, the European Eel Anglers Association represents all anglers in Europe in the study, conservation and pursuit of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla).

WHY WAS THE EUROPEAN EEL ANGLERS ASSOCIATION FORMED?

The European Eel Anglers Association was formed in the summer of 2002 in response to the need for an organisation to serve the interests of eel anglers in their quest for study, conservation and pursuit of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla), throughout Europe and across all European borders to wherever the European Eel (Anguilla anguilla) finds an appropriate habitat. Indeed, there is a vast richness of untapped information, expertise and information amongst the thousands of eel anglers in the European Community.

The European Eel Anglers Association was founded by a group of 13 ex-National Anguilla Club (Great Britain) members, including an ex-President, four ex-Chairmen and other senior ex-Officers including Secretary, Treasurer, Membership Secretary, Publications Editor, etc. Altogether, representing over a hundred years of angling administrative experience. They had the vision to understand the innovative need for a totally new concept in eel angling organisations. The requirement for a new eel angling organisation encompassing the whole of Europe, wherever the European Eel finds an appropriate habitat. An eel angling organisation that is administered democratically and constitutionally from a central Committee whose members are elected annually and an organisation based on sub-Committees set up in each European country and open to all persons interested in the study and conservation of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla), whether active anglers or not. It is envisaged that there will be many problems in the establishment of such an organisation representing such a diversity of languages and cultures, including different fishing legalities. However, all problems encountered can be overcome with effort, dedication and time and the recruitment of appropriate and dedicated representatives for each European country.
