Fédération De Pêche

What Fédération De Pêche does

The Fédération Nationale de la Pêche en France (FNPF), headquartered at 108/110 rue Saint-Maur, 75011 Paris, is a French non-profit federation (association loi 1901 reconnue d'utilité publique) that serves as the national representative body for recreational freshwater fishing in France. It coordinates a federated network of 94 departmental federations (FDAAPPMA), 3,400 local AAPPMA associations, 6 basin unions, 12 regional associations, and 8 migrateur associations, supported by 68,000 active volunteers, and serves approximately 1.5 million recreational anglers across 620,000 km of French freshwater (including La Réunion). The federation holds statutory responsibility for freshwater fishing management and aquatic environment protection, including biodiversity, fish stock management, environmental education, and ecological continuity restoration. It is led by President Claude Roustan (re-elected in May 2022 for a 5-year term) and Director General Hamid Oumoussa, with a public utility mandate that confers unique institutional standing.

The FNPF's digital ecosystem is built around three interconnected web properties: federationpeche.fr (institutional portal with governance, missions, and network information), cartedepeche.fr (the official online fishing license sales platform that has issued over one million digital licenses since launch and was redesigned in September 2023), and generationpeche.fr (public-facing news and information portal with the Generation Pêche mobile application). Underlying these public platforms, the network operates Web PDPG, a GIS-based database for departmental aquatic protection plans and fish resource management data collection and analysis. The federation also publishes the annual Revue Pêche magazine and a public activity report (Rapport annuel d'activité), runs the multi-act Sauvons nos Rivières environmental campaign, and organizes the Junior Fishing Tour youth competition and Fête de la Pêche national day.

The federation's revenue model is anchored by recurring annual fishing license sales — the carte interfédérale is priced at €114 and covers all public domain freshwater in France — supplemented by government subsidies and institutional funding for environmental missions of general interest. Distribution is hybrid: self-serve digital via cartedepeche.fr, an authorized physical distributor network, and in-person sales and engagement through the 94 departmental federations and 3,400 local AAPPMA associations. Marketing combines a national press office, organic social media (@LaFNPF on X/Twitter, Facebook), national public events, and partnerships including the Tour de France (2017-2018 under the Génération Pêche identity), RMC Pêche podcast (2026 exclusive partner), and the Association des Maires de France (describes FNPF as the 2nd largest associative federation in France by membership).
