This is the report from the Mersey and Weaver Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 16th September 1974. The report looks at comments of the Regional Fisheries Officer on the report 'Taking Stock', and information including the aims of a report entitled 'Coarse Fisheries'. The report also includes a copy of the chairman's address to members of the Mersey and Weaver Anglers' Consultative Association, and the report by the Unit Water Quality Officer on fisheries activities. This covers general fisheries management work, stocking and biological work carried out including the Rivers Tame and Bollin, and fish mortalities listed by cause. 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.
