Conservation through Fly Fishing? Cosmoledo Atoll

Описание: The seemingly oxymoronic notion of conversation through fly fishing lives as life in the limelight of social media. Conceptually, most anglers agree in unison that fly fishing, while fully immersive, has a relatively green footprint. Can change be driven by simply enjoying angling as a consumer?
