This information has been kindly supplied by Leon Roskilly.
Below is a very small section that I have taken from the consultation. Information like this can be used to back up the need for the immediate improvement in the marine conservation efforts, that I am sure would be mutually beneficial to Anglers and the Welsh assembly government. I will be quoting from this consultation at every opportunity. Have a browse through it, its very interesting.

“Sea angling
Sea angling, comprising boat and shore fishing, is a very popular recreational activity in the
UK and Ireland, and Wales is able to offer fishing to compare with the best on offer in other
areas. In particular, Wales is able to offer, amongst a wide range of species, excellent
shore fishing for silver, cod and whiting, and boat fishing for black bream and tope.
Little statistical information has been hitherto available for the scale and economic worth of
sea angling, and despite its obvious popularity, it is often over-looked when tourism and
coastal development matters are debated. With the assistance of local sea angling
specialists and fishing clubs we have been able to estimate that the sport in Wales involves
the participation of approximately 12,000 locally resident anglers, and upwards of 28,000
visiting anglers. Estimates of angler spend suggest that this sport makes a gross contribution to the coastal economy of Wales of over £28 million.
Despite the considerable scale of the industry as is, there remains room for improvement in the quality of the fishing available and the economic benefits that the sport can generate.”
