FREEBOAT

FREEBOAT is an environmental protection association that connects recreational fishing with the care and future of rivers. Its work is presented through a broad online platform focused on freshwater fishing, rural life, and environmental initiatives. The association’s projects include Aquascan, an ecolabel, digitisation, river restoration, fishing routes, canoe raids, and river management, alongside animations and practical workshops.

FREEBOAT also publishes “Le Journal de la Pêche,” a resource for recreational anglers featuring news, regional coverage, information on rivers and lakes, freshwater fish and aquatic plants, fishing techniques, guides, and equipment. Its content includes reports on fish restocking, fisheries surveys, local access and site updates, and activities for young anglers. The platform also shares videos, podcasts, hiking information, and ideas related to outdoor recreation.

Serving fishing enthusiasts and people interested in environmental and rural issues, FREEBOAT brings together educational content, community activities, and conservation-focused projects. Its website provides links to regional and island publications, fishing organisations, institutions, and partners, helping readers explore fishing destinations, resources, and initiatives across France.
