€20,000 per year. This is what the maintenance of these 43 small pieces of fishing grounds owned by the Departmental Federation of Deux-Sèvres represents. In total, these old properties acquired over the years represent 48 hectares of surface area spread over 79 plots throughout the department. But fishermen want to sort through these areas.
Not all of them are useful. Some are no longer even located at the water's edge, remarked the president of the Deux-Sèvres fishermen, Jean-Michel Grignon, this Saturday, November 30, 2024 at the end of a general assembly which was held in Parthenay. Our cartographer carried out a census of all these plots. We have classified them according to their usefulness. Those we deem unnecessary will either be sold or perhaps given away. We will decide

“Better distribute costs”
Because maintaining vegetation costs time and money. Every year, municipalities, neighboring farmers or members of the approved fishing and aquatic environment protection associations (AAPMA) clear land with two objectives.
Protect biodiversity and continue to provide access so fishermen can continue fishing
assures Jean-Michel Grignon.
More extensive work is sometimes necessary, such as maintaining road access. To best deal with this issue, meetings will take place throughout 2025 with the presidents of each AAPMA and each basin concerned. It will also be a question of better distribute costs
between the Fishing Federation and local communities and associations.
