EBI and the European Fishing Tackle & Trade Association (EFTTA) announced a strategic partnership to boost cooperation between Europe’s recreational boating and fishing sectors. The alliance is rooted in shared priorities—sustainability, innovation, and sectoral growth.

The agreement sets out a joint approach to advocacy, data sharing, and public engagement, with a focus on marine access, environmental responsibility, and qualifications. EBI and EFTTA will collaborate through major events such as the EFTTA Angling Summit and EBI’s Blue Innovation Dock, while maintaining their institutional independence.
