VRFish is calling on Victorian recreational fishers to have their say on improving fishing via the annual VRFish advocacy priorities survey.

VRFish chair Rob Loats said they’re eager to hear from even more recreational fishers for this year’s survey, after last year’s survey received almost 5000 responses.

“Our latest survey gives every Victorian recreational fisher the opportunity to shape what VRFish advocates for on their behalf,” he said.

“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 important to the community.

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.

Previous surveys have activated campaigns to restore fish habitat in waterways, access new fishers, provide more support for fishing clubs, fix boat ramps and secure a new native fish hatchery.

The survey closes on June 17.
