Not quite sure why your mentioning Flamborough Paul. The MCZ proposed for the area have alrwady been placed on google earth. Flamborough is the least of your woories. Have a look on google earth at RHB, Saltwick, Ravenscar, Sandsend, Runswick, Goldsborough, Kettlenes and Boulby. The whole area is boxed off. Plus theres some pretty pictures from Rob Fisher.

never mind Google earth, according to the guidance approach to the selection and designation of marine conservation zones under part 5 of the marine and coastal access bill the entire north sea from Berwick southwards is to become a MCZ.

Just wondering whether they are giving you blokes any extra training that will enable you to police the new restricted areas, Challenge? I can see there being a lot of mightily p*ssed off people when they find out they have been banned from fishing as they have done for generations. Are they going to issue you all with means to enforce the new rules or deal with any resistance?

Hi Steve.

Sites will have different levels of protection depending on conservation objectives and the sensitivity of features being protected. There is no presumption for any MCZ that any particular activity will be restricted. For example, it might be appropriate to have seasonal restrictions on activities rather than a complete ban.

As for your question on training, I believe that all fishery officers will be fully trained up to what will be asked of them when becoming IFCA,s

Regards.

Hello Challenge

 

The attachment picture (if it worked) is of a singe I came across in a remote general store on the banks of the Yukon river Alaska (one of about a dozen shacks 100 miles from any other civilisation)

I thought it reverent as we seem to be heading towards the same sort of management as America only worse and even more draconian.

Do you think that the new EU regulation of fixed penalties will be ideally suited and put in place for the purpose to police inshore fishermen and anglers?

I believe all fishery officers will be fully trained in the use of a ticket machine.

I fish to live and live to fish.

I would like to think not.

I do believe that fix penalties are just around the corner, as for ticket machines? We already have 1800 recreational limited shellfish licence holders in our district and the means to enforce this by-law so I am sure that the powers that be would have no problem in giving us more licence holders to enforce.

Regards.

Hiyer Challenge,

 

potting,

 

Can you tell me why these guys need to be licenced. Any of these guys been caught over limit. Any one been prosecuted for black selling, why the bag limit , how about anyone potting off shore, is the regulation the same. Is there a commercial sector limit on the catch?

 

Apologies for many questions. :)

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..

Hi Barry. please ask as many questions as you like barry it,s all part of my job. will try and answer them the best i can.

Like I say there are now somewhere in the region of 1800 limited shellfish licences in our district under the by-law they are allowed to work max 10 pots per licence that’s a possibility of 18000 recreational pots in our district. I would say that 70% of all our prosecutions are against recreational fishermen. They have no limit as to how many lobsters they can catch, but are only allowed to take 2 size lobsters per day from the fishery. So there is the possibility Barry of somewhere in the region of 3500 lobsters per day to be removed from the fishery.

There licences the tags they have to have for there pots (and changed every year) and all the administration costs are free. I believe we only charge for administration costs if tags etc are lost and asked to be replaced.

It all just a matter of filling in a form, sticking to the rules. But still we take dozens of cases of either no licence, undersize lobsters, over the limit for amount allowed to go ashore or a mixture of all of the above. We have repetitive offenders who often get caught 4 or 5 times in the same season. Unfortunately we still have to give him a licence when he applies. Hopefully with the new marine bill and the new powers that this will give us to enforce this by-law we can stop such cases.

Regards.

Hello Challenge

 

Thats a fact!

 

I suspect you will merge with what we know as the MFA and with a few reinforcements become quite a police force.
