Hello all,
Without wanting to start a bonfire about this issue. Is it really any
surprise that this vessel is Australian?
Until we follow New Zealand's lead and demand that our fishing vessels
have 100% bycatch observancy aboard, then our fisheries will continue
with unsustainable practices.
The government of New Zealand has closed down entire sections of their
fishery due to albatross deaths in the past. These vessels have only
been allowed to re-start their operations after they have proved that
they are minimising by-catch.
When are we going to learn to do the same?
Cheers,
Inger
