Anglers Conservation Association
- Anglers Conservation Association
The Anglers Conservation Association (ACA) is a non-profit making waterway society in England, UK. Founded in 1948, it started out as the Anglers' Cooperative Association, but changed its name in 1994. Its base is at Leominster, Herefordshire.
The ACA fights pollution and the resulting damage to fishery on the freshwater waterways and lakes in the UK. The Association pursues legal cases against polluters to the House of Lords if necessary, but most cases are settled out of Court.
