Highly selective, for species and size; low volume; negligible impact. Low participation. Requires a relatively high level of skill and physical activity (while our country struggles against increasing obesity), and favourable weather and water conditions. Relatively low cost of participation means participation is across socio-economic and age groups. Enables and encourages a healthy diet, low in fat but rich in Omega-3 fatty acids - good for the heart, health and brain. Encourages a greater knowledge and appreciation of the marine environment and coastal areas. As British as Mum and apple pie?
