Lave net fishing: a Welsh tradition in trouble

Original: Country diary: Lave net fishing is a tradition in trouble | Gwyneth Lewis

Writer Gwyneth Lewis reports on lave net fishing, a traditional method of catching salmon with hand-held nets, practiced in the Severn estuary in Wales. The centuries-old craft is described as being in trouble, under pressure from declining salmon stocks and the environmental and regulatory changes that come with them, leaving a handful of practitioners fighting to keep the tradition alive.

Why now: Declining salmon populations and conservation rules are putting a centuries-old traditional fishing practice at risk of disappearing.
