Protecting our waters!
The inadvertent introduction and transfer of invasive plants and animals and harmful pathogens represent major threats to Ireland’s habitats, native species and internationally renowned fisheries. By encouraging the introduction of a disinfection process at angling matches helps us to preseve the ecology of Ireland's natural waters.
IFI carried out this process for the World Pairs Angling Championship with a ground breaking first introduction of the process in County Fermanagh in support of this cross border match.
