The Secretary General

Based in Brussels, the Secretary General plays a key role in representing recreational angling at EU level and advancing EAA’s advocacy efforts, working closely with EU institutions, advisory bodies, and external partners to promote shared priorities. He helps implement decisions taken by the General Assembly and the Board, and supports EAA members and partners in their advocacy and policy work across Europe.

“Effective advocacy is not about confrontation, but about contributing knowledge, experience, and workable solutions.”

“We work to ensure that policies affecting fish and waters are informed by science and by those who know these ecosystems best.”
