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 .

We are one team committed to serving 23,200 members and some 35,000 fishermen attending the department
our missions
Framed in the statutes, the missions of the federation revolve around 3 main objectives:
- the development and management of leisure fishing,

From hundreds of actions are thus carried out each year by the federation and local associations to meet these statutory objectives

Why ?
To contribute to the management of aquatic environments and the development of fishing activity.
Volunteering is at the heart of the local action of fishing associations and you can, for example, provide your help with stocking, activities for young people, daycare, maintenance of fishing courses or even the day-to-day management of the association. The possibilities are not lacking and any participation will be welcome.
