Inland Fisheries Ireland

Inland Fisheries Ireland is a state agency in Ireland responsible for fisheries management of freshwater fish and coastal fish within 12 nautical miles of the shore. A separate agency, Bord Iascaigh Mhara, is responsible for sea fisheries. In 2018, IFI's mission statement was: "To ensure the valuable natural resources of Inland Fisheries and Sea Angling are conserved, managed, developed and promoted in their own right to generate a positive return for the community and the environment". By 2024, this had changed to: "We are the environmental agency responsible for protecting, managing and conserving Ireland's inland fisheries and sea angling resources."
