Also see the public notices on Page 19.

 

Eastern Sea Fisheries Joint Committee are also applying for a byelaw to protect tope.

 

 

 

Letters supporting the Byelaw application can be sent to DEFRA and the SFC

Too late for at least 30 here in South Wales.

Taken from last night's local paper:

"On the tope front, good numbers have been taken off Oxwich, with charterboats returning them alive. Unfortunately, I have received a report of a private boat returning to Swansea with 30 tope and a single porbeagle all killed by anglers.

 

What can you guys be thinking? While good catches may be being taken, the tope are still not available in the numbers of past years.

 

Surely the only explanation is that some anglers are seeking money. It's always the commercial fishermen who get the stick for over-fishing, but there must be plenty of anglers out there who are selling their fish.

 

It's sad to report that as the fishing gets better, there are those who are still prepared to exploit any situation.

 

Bring on the legislation to deal with those individuals."

Point 6 illustrates how a local angling association group backed these proposals.

The banning of the killing has been an on going thing for several months here in the NE, and has come about largly from the dedicated work of one guy who we know as Doc on here.

 

I would like to express my thanks publicly for all his work in helping get this legislation through...well done Nigel

 

Another great bit of news is this legislation has set a precident to be followed by other fisheries areas and is being recieved favourably. I believe the legislation is already through in North Wales and is getting consideration in other areas.

 

The sooner the laws are changed to stop the idiots the better. So get sending in those letters of support.
