About EPA and Anglers
- EPA wants to provide anglers with information on the condition of
our nation's waters, activities that anglers and their families can
undertake to improve the health of our valued fisheries, and information
on EPA's role in protecting recreational fisheries.
- The mission
of EPA's Office of Water
is to support a variety of activities and programs to further the Clean Water Act's goal
of the restoration and maintenance of the "chemical, physical, and biological
integrity of the nation's waters," which is so vital to the health of
our fisheries and the enjoyment of the U.S.'s 35 million anglers. We
work cooperatively with many partners
to achieve this goal, particularly by building the capacity of states,
local governments and Tribes to manage their own water programs. The
following documents describe EPA's efforts to implement the Executive
Order on Recreational Fisheries, and outline yearly accomplishments
on the path to achieving our goals.
