Lune, Wyre & Furness Fisheries Advisory Committee 20th October, 1975.

This is the report from the Lune, Wyre and Furness Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 20th October 1975. The report contains information on water resources for the post 1981 period, fisheries activities, protection of fisheries and pipe crossing of the River Leven near Newby Bridge, land drainage representation on local committees, new byelaws and fishing licence duties. The section on fisheries activities looks at poaching, biological work to assess the effects of Frigg-Warrington pipeline, fish mortalities, eels netting, and migratory runs in the River Lune and Leven. The Fisheries Advisory Committee was part of the Regional Water Authorities, in this case the North West Water Authority. This preceded the Environment Agency which came into existence in 1996.
