The annual CATCH&CLEAN DAY in autumn is now a day of action not only in Lower Saxony, but also nationwide, on which anglers, fishing clubs and nature lovers work hand in hand to clear lakes, ponds, rivers and canals of garbage.
They are supported by the major industry associations, which take on coordinating tasks, carry out press work or provide practical materials such as bin bags.
The German Angling Association also drew an impressive balance for 2024 after the day of action: around 300 clubs and groups took part, which corresponds to an estimated 3,000 participants, including even Austrians and Swiss. Together, around 9 tons of waste were fished out of the water and disposed of properly.
