[Elton]

This, I reckon, is what we've got to look forward to over here:

Quote:

Now in an era of the depletion of some fish populations and a desire to keep fish stocks at a sustainable level, there is a plethora of regulations regarding saltwater fishing.

end.

 

I might understand and accept need for some (regs) if low fish stock was based on the activities of the rsa. But that ain't true and no one has ever brought to light depletion by the rsa. So as the two should go hand in hand, the managers who are looking to rule the roost over the rsa can go away, in the nicest posible way of course.

Your Not wrong Wurzel, here is the latest, it appears semi worthwhile, however what he fails to tell everyone is that it's being led by the E U who are demanding with threats of fines to the uk if the information isn't collected. So the likes of defra and cefas etc are dressing it up to make it look like a worthy cause.

 

There's loads more to this rsa fish count, as cefas recons getting the governing body the trust onboard it makes it open and transparent, what the trust don't do is talk or liaze with the guys who they claim to rep and goven. So the result of any info collected and possibly used against the rsa will be flawed and not worth the paper it's written on. Another point to this is according to cefas, bass is to be now part of the rsa count. Yet as i understood, the bass was a non-quota specis and wasn't part of any count, so why is it now on the agenda. There is a lot of back door politics going on and those at the bottom of the food chain, the profitable and sustainable rsa industry are in the firing line.

And if anyone gets sucked into beleiving the last two lines are actually included by the minister to acheive anything for the rsa, needs to see if heads want examining.

 

Quote Benyon.

 

Richard Benyon (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Natural Environment andFisheries), Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Newbury, Conservative)

 

I recognisethe importance of recreational sea angling and the social, economic andconservation benefits associated with the sport. I am also aware there islittle information available on recreational activity such as how many fishingtrips take place or how many people fish from our piers and beaches.

 

To addressthis lack of information, DEFRA, in conjunction with the Marine ManagementOrganisation (MMO); the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and AquacultureScience; and the newly established Inshore Fisheries Conservation Authorities,has recently committed funds to the ‘Sea Angling 2012’ research project. Thisproject will provide the most comprehensive information ever collected onrecreational sea angling activity, catches and economic value in England. Therecreational bass fishery will, of course, as one of England's key recreationalspecies, be included in this wider work.

 

Theinformation gathered by this project, including the economic data, will allowbetter informed, evidence-based decisions to be made on issues which are ofimportance to sea anglers—at both local and national level.
