Who are we ?

An innovative federation

The Departmental Federation of Landes for Fishing and the Protection of the Aquatic Environment is a association recognized as being of public utility and governed by the environmental code . We are in charge, within the framework of the general interest, of the management of fishing and the protection of the aquatic environment.

Head of the network, the Federation also leads and coordinates the actions of 27 approved associations and ADAPAEF that the Landes department has.

The federation employs employees who bring their skills to the federal office and lead actions in favor of the aquatic environment and fishermen. The salary team applies the policy defined by the board of directors .

our missions

Framed in the statutes, the missions of the federation revolve around 3 main objectives:

• the development and management of leisure fishing,
• protection and management of aquatic environments,
• the fishing police and the surveillance of aquatic environments.

This vast program is now ensured and framed by the establishment of management and action documents that are the PDPG or Departmental Plan for the Protection of the Aquatic Environment and the Management of Fish Resources and the PDPL or Plan for the Development and Promotion of Leisure Fishing.
