Tender ~ Wild Fishing Wales ~ 12/08/09
Posted on Thursday, July 23, 2009
Deadline for expressions of interest: 12.08.09
Description of the contract: Wild Fishing Wales is an Environment Agency Wales (EAW) lead, £2.6million project which aims to enhance river and still water habitats and improve angler access to a network of fisheries throughout the Convergence Area of Wales. The objective of the Wild Fishing Wales Project is to help fisheries, angling clubs, landowners, rivers trusts and other interested parties to deliver these access and habitat improvement projects on their waters.
Environment Agency Wales will be seeking reliable partners who can deliver these projects which must include both habitat and access components, for example:
- Access Improvements by constructing paths, car parks and ramps so that the fishing beat is more accessible to anglers; and
- Habitat improvements by constructing fencing, buffer strips and addressing water quality so that the fishing beat is ecologically sustainable.
Funding will be made available for 80% of project costs, with delivery partners expected to contribute the remaining 20%, including up to 10% in kind.
This project is part of a wider strategic project called Communities and Nature (CAN) project, managed by Countryside Council for Wales and is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), provided through the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG).
