The Långå Fishing Conservation Area Association held its annual meeting on Monday evening, delayed and in digital form due to corona pandemic. Management was approved and the deficit for the year at 258 000 SEK is balanced in a new account. The deficit is consistent with the leeway that the board already has to invest a quarter of a million in biotope measures and other nature conservation efforts to support the original fish species in the fisheries conservation area.
Jon Olofsson and Margareta Selin Ring had declined re-election when their term of office expired. Acknowledgments for long-term and significant efforts will take place at a later date. They were now replaced by Elias Hammarlund and Jens Andersson. Elias has just moved in as recently as a week ago but has been very knowledgeable in Långåfishing since childhood.
Other board members and association officials were unanimously re-elected.
At the constitutive board meeting that followed the annual meeting, Elias Hammarlund was appointed as the new person in charge of Långåfisket's cultural program and, like Jens Andersson, involved in the fishery conservation association's various projects.
