Between March 2020 and December 2020, 52 illegal fishing traps and nets were retrieved from along the East Anglian river banks.
The traps and nets are used to illegally trap eels, crayfish, water voles, otters and coarse fish and have the potential to cause real damage to wildlife. To legally trap or fish such wildlife, an Environment Agency licence would be required.
