angling trust calls for restrictions

Angling trust calls for restrictions on both commercial and recreational sea anglers on the bream fishing, taken from the Solent Forum, they claim that the survival of the stock is at risk:

 

Various marine divisions of the Angling Trust along the

south coast are commencing a collaboration to try to work

with Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities to

introduce protection for local inshore breeding stocks of

Black Bream.

Bream are demersal spawners and the males lay their

eggs in a circular nest created by removing, with their tails,

the sediment layer on bedrock. It is believed that the males

guard the eggs till they hatch.

Particularly suitable substrates are few and localised

along the south coast of England and so breeding fish are

found in the same areas year on year. This makes them

very vulnerable to commercial netting and they are locally

a popular target species for both static and towed gear.

Bream are also a popular target species for recreational

sea anglers but most have adopted a sustainable catch

and release policy.

Anglers all along the central south coast of England have

been aware for many decades of locations of annual

concentrations of bream in the spring which are now realised to be spawning areas. Only fairly recent interest from

government bodies, in relation to conservation, has resulted in specific information being gathered as to the actual location

of some breeding sites, but this information is far from being comprehensive. The Kingmere Rocks area off Littlehampton

is a large well documented breeding area but there are many other smaller breeding areas all along the south coast.

Declining catches by recreational sea anglers over recent years suggest that pressures on the stock are exceeding any

stock recoveries previously observed. The Angling Trust believes that restrictions on catches by both commercial fishermen

and anglers is essential for the survival of this species in the long run. It is hoped that the local Inshore Fisheries and

Conservation Authorities will look favourably on these proposals, with their mandate to promote conservation.

Don't know what the proposals are, nor exactly what the problem is, as the trust are very selective in providing facts with regards to the depletion and who and what is the problem. The questions have been put on various forums and face book accounts, yet the trust have failed to deliver anything credible at all.

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..
