Draft Ringarooma Water Management Plan

This link provides details of the technical and scientific reports which will underpin the development of the Draft Plan for the Ringarooma catchment. Whilst AAT will endeavour to represent the views of anglers as far as is possible in the consultative process to develop the Draft Plan, anglers are also encouraged to submit their views either through AAT or to DPIPWE direct.

To enable anglers to keep abreast of the development of the Draft Plan, meeting and progress reports will be listed on the AAT Bulletin Board as they come to hand. This arrangement will also apply to the development of other Water Management Plans yet to be commenced. Again, anglers should understand the importance of involvement and having a say in the process to ensure that existing recreational values are not diminished.

General

Anglers Alliance Tasmania Inc. (AAT) was formed in January 2006 as the peak body representing the interests of all Tasmanian fresh water anglers. AAT is recognized by Government and as such receives financial assistance for administration from Government through the Inland Fisheries service (IFS).

The current constituent membership of the Alliance includes:

Southern Tasmanian Licensed Anglers Association
Northern Angling Clubs
Tasmanian Fly Fishing Association.
Australian Fishing Tackle Association.
Trout Guides and Lodges Tasmania.
Three unattached and unaligned independent anglers.

Each organization has two representatives, who can delegate other like members of their group, in the event of being unable to attend any meeting and these substitute members retain the voting rights for their group.

Independent angler representatives are selected through a public process bi- annually.

Full Committee meetings are held quarterly or as necessary and the day to day affairs of the Alliance are run by the Executive committee who meet monthly and direct the Executive assistant.

All members of the Alliance’s Committee welcome angler input on any recreational inland fishing matter. It should be in writing to GPO Box 963, HOBART TAS 7001 or emailed to eo@anglersalliance.org.au.

All anglers, local and visitors alike are encouraged to make known their views and suggestions for a better Tasmanian fishing resource through Committee representation.

The core aims of the Alliance are reflected in our goal “Through the representation of all anglers, ensure the realization and maintenance of the full potential of the fishery.” We work closely with the IFS and play a significant role in providing them with angler views and suggestions and we act as a catalyst between fisheries management and all State and local Governments.

The Alliance operates on behalf of all anglers, without fear or favour of any group or entity and views all decisions on the basis of “Tasmania and Tasmanians first.”

Supporting Anglers Alliance

The Alliance is only as strong as its membership. Individual anglers can assist us by taking an active part through membership of their local club or communication with the appropriate Independent Representative. Angling Clubs can assist us by joining the relevent member Associations. Working cooperatively, not only requires less overall effort but will accomplish our goal.
