Charitable objects
1) TO PROMOTE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC THE CONSERVATION AND PROTECTION OF THE OLDEST STRAINS OF CARP IN THE UK.
2) TO ADVANCE THE EDUCATION OF THE PUBLIC IN THE CONSERVATION, PROTECTION, HISTORY AND IMPORTANCE OF THE OLDEST CARP STRAINS.
THESE STRAINS ARE DEFINED, FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE CIO, AS THE ORIGINAL SPECIES WILD CARP (CONSIDERED VULNERABLE TO EXTINCTION BY THE INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR CONSERVATION OF NATURE) AND THE FERAL DESCENDANTS OF CARP INTRODUCED TO WATERS IN ENGLAND AND WALES BEFORE 1850 WHERE EVIDENCE – IN THE FORM OF HISTORIC RECORD OR FISH PHENOTYPE – SUGGESTS THAT THEY HAVE SINCE AVOIDED CROSSBREEDING WITH MORE MODERN STRAINS OF CARP.
