The American Fly Fishing Trade Association is challenging anglers with an ultimatum: get involved in climate politics now in order to save fishing for generations to come. In a new report titled, “For Tomorrow’s Fish,” AFFTA makes plain-language ties between the quality of recreational fishing and a changing climate that’s upping the intensity of storms, raising ocean temperatures and lowering oxygen levels in waters from coast to coast.
 

“Our call for action challenges anglers to fiercely support members of the fishing industry and advocacy networks who are demanding progress toward healthy and abundant marine fisheries in the face of climate change,” wrote Lucas Bisset, AFFTA’s executive director, and Whitney Tilt, the executive director of AFFTA’s Fisheries Fund, in the report’s introduction. “Just as we once rallied to protect our fishing grounds from pollution, overfishing and habitat destruction, we must now push for a united front of anglers, industry representatives and other committed advocates.”
