FDAAPPMA 33

What FDAAPPMA 33 does

FDAAPPMA 33 (Fédération Départementale des AAPPMA de la Gironde) is a French departmental fishing federation organized as an Association loi 1901 non-profit, founded in the early 1900s, headquartered in Beychac-et-Caillau, Gironde, France. It operates as a federation of local AAPPMA (Approved Associations for Fishing and Protection of Aquatic Environments) member associations and serves individual recreational anglers, families, competitive fishermen, schools, and youth groups across the Gironde department. The federation holds state-granted mandates under the French Code de l'Environnement to manage recreational fishing, regulate fisheries, and protect aquatic habitats, functioning as the sole statutory fisheries authority for Gironde.

Its commercial portfolio centers on state-regulated fishing licenses (cartes de pêche) sold through the national cartedepeche.fr portal and a network of local retailers across six pricing tiers (€7–€112), plus add-on options including the €15 Pôles Truites trout stocking pass and the €10 Réservoir Mouche fly fishing reservoir pass, with the federation's primary revenue stream being recurring annual subscriptions. Additional revenue is generated through transactional competition entry fees for events including the Float-Tour des Grands Lacs circuit, Master de Gironde, Junior Fishing Tour, and PercheMaster33. The federation operates a digital Geopeche interactive map integrating Google Maps with bathymetric and regulatory data, runs a training center for guard certification and ecopathology courses, and delivers environmental programs including 115+ artificial spawning ground installations across 9 monitored sites (2022–2023) and a linear low-flow monitoring protocol co-developed with ARB-NA.

The federation monetizes its state-granted regulatory authority through subscription-style recurring license sales and transactional event fees, supported by a network of state institutional partnerships (OFB, ONF, AEAG, FNPF), water agencies, and grassroots engagement through local AAPPMA associations. Its primary corporate structural move is the December 2024 opening of a new federal fly fishing reservoir (Réservoir Mouche) at Étang de Tourenne. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there is no parent company; the federation is a self-governing non-profit with 11–50 employees, led by President Daniel Bourdie.

Regional players

• Fédération de Pêche de la Charente-Maritime: Departmental fishing federation for Charente-Maritime offering the same regulated license products, environmental programs, and member services through local AAPPMA associations. Coastal department gives it a partially different fishery mix (more sea/estuary influence) but otherwise directly comparable structure.
• Fédération de Pêche de la Dordogne: Departmental fishing federation for Dordogne with the same agréement, license categories, and AAPPMA network structure as FDAAPPMA 33. Runs comparable annual license sales, trout stocking events, and competition circuits in a different but adjacent department.
• Fédération de Pêche de l'Ain: Departmental federation operating the same fishing license, AAPPMA, and habitat-protection model under French environmental code, with a more riverine than lacustrine fishery mix. Comparable scale, governance, and revenue model in a different region.
• Fédération de Pêche des Landes: Departmental fishing federation for the neighboring Landes department, operating under the same French Association loi 1901 framework with an identical mandate for fishing licensing, habitat protection, and member services. Same business model, same revenue structure, different geographic territory.
• Fédération de Pêche du Lot-et-Garonne: Departmental federation for Lot-et-Garonne, geographically adjacent to Gironde, operating the same model of fishing license sales, AAPPMA coordination, habitat protection, and youth/educational programs under the same national FNPF framework.
• Fédération de Pêche de la Vienne: Departmental fishing federation for Vienne, inland Nouvelle-Aquitaine, offering an almost identical portfolio of licenses, competitions, environmental programs, and member services as FDAAPPMA 33, with the same ARB-NA regional biodiversity partnership context.

Others

• Office Français de la Biodiversité (OFB): French state agency for biodiversity and water resources, a core-tier partner of FDAAPPMA 33 (e.g., on Aires Terrestres Éducatives school programs). Not a competitor but a closely aligned public body that co-funds environmental action and shares regulatory scope over aquatic environments.
• Fédération Française de la Pêche Sportive au Coup (FFPS): The national federation for competitive match fishing in France, which co-organizes the Junior Fishing Tour with FNPF and FFPS. Adjacent rather than overlapping in scope: FFPS focuses on competition standards and elite athletes while FDAAPPMA 33 runs the Gironde-level competitions and grassroots licensing.
• Fédération Nationale des Chasseurs (FNC): The French national hunting federation, structured almost identically to FNPF (national + departmental + local associations) with a state-granted mandate for managing a recreational activity and reinvesting a dedicated tax into habitat conservation. Different sport, but highly analogous federation model, regulatory role, and ecological footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Fédération Nationale de la Pêche en France (FNPF): The national umbrella federation that coordinates all 96 French departmental fishing federations, including FDAAPPMA 33. It sets national license pricing, runs the Junior Fishing Tour, and certifies labeled routes such as Gironde's 5 'Famille' and 'Passion' trails. Directly comparable operating model at a larger, national scale.
