Recreational activities such as boating and angling have been reported to disturb some bird species. There are frequently interactions between these activities. Wildlife protection needs wider use of refuges and temporal restrictions on recreational activities at critical stages of overwintering and breeding. Interference of breeding birds which nest along the margins of water bodies by angling and other activities needs further investigation.
