Fédération de Pêche et de Protection du Milieu Aquatique du Vaucluse

What Fédération de Pêche et de Protection du Milieu Aquatique du Vaucluse does

The Fédération de Vaucluse pour la pêche et la protection du milieu aquatique is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded on July 10, 1942, and headquartered at 575 Chemin des Fontanelles, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, in the Vaucluse department of southeastern France. It is the state-recognized departmental federation responsible for managing recreational fishing and protecting aquatic environments across the Vaucluse, overseeing approximately 2,600 km of rivers and streams, 700 hectares of lakes and ponds, 30 managed fishing sites, and a habitat supporting nearly 50 fish species including migratory species and Rhône aloses. The federation coordinates a tightly integrated network of 20 AAPPMA associations and 20 Amicales fishing clubs to deliver fishing card distribution, regulation enforcement, habitat restoration, and scientific studies on trout reproduction, spawning grounds, and fish populations. It is governed by a board led by President Christophe Marcellino and Director Saïd Elkhalifi, with operational staff of 9 employees, and operates under the national oversight of the Fédération Nationale de Pêche en France (FNPF).

Its core offerings span digital and physical service delivery: an interactive web-based fishing map detailing authorized zones, labeled routes (Family, Children, Passion, No-Kill), parking, boat launches, fishing reserves, and PMR access; an annual printed fishing guide PDF; labeled fishing routes with category-specific regulations; an online pollution reporting tool; BPJEPS-certified fishing and nature awareness workshops; partner accommodations under the "Hébergement Pêche" label; and ongoing scientific studies on fish populations and aquatic ecosystems. Technology is conventional rather than differentiated — primarily content management, digital mapping, and PDF publication — with no platform-plus-modules architecture, no mobile application, and no API surface.

Revenue is generated from two principal streams: fishing license sales (cartes de pêche) channeled through the national cartedepeche.fr platform and redistributed locally via the AAPPMA and dépositaire network, and educational animation fees (€320 full-day, €180 half-day, plus €30 displacement) for BPJEPS-certified workshops sold to schools, leisure centers, businesses, and CSE employee representative bodies. Institutional grants and partnerships with the Département de Vaucluse, Région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, EDF Hydro Méditerranée, CNR, and ENEDIS supplement operating income, though specific figures are not publicly disclosed. Distribution occurs through AAPPMA local associations, newsagents and tobacco shops, tourist offices, partner accommodations, the national Carte de Pêche platform, and direct field sales for workshop services.
