[barry luxton]

sun flower oil is good, tuna does well with it

[chesters1]

But its mackeral ,those 99p shops should be shot ,nearly a whole quid and they sell baby fish (to go with your tiny sweet corn and baby carrots and minuscule peas),in london perhaps but this is aldershot home of what was the british army and himalayan old folks home.

Been sent the article about all the shell fishermen who reconize what's at stake but it won't paste will have to wait till I arrive back in the uk there numbers wil probably have swollen by then mind you some have only been at it a few months so they won't know nothing niot really 100s of years Of experience working the grounds of this coast between them you reLy do need to read this they are passionate and know just what's at stake .

 

Paul

If it's the article I think it is then it's some locals pushing their own position, it's what people do...I did the very same in our regional paper a few weeks back, what else are they going to do, shoot themselves in the foot?

 

You actually yet again highlight part of the issue in your waffle above - "some have only been at it a few months" - why have they only gone to it recently when you tell us the world is being decimated by these scallopers, just as it has been for decades, are the stupid and setting pots for nothing simply to add further to the incredible explosion in potting effort in the area?

 

Although from the article they seem to suggest not -

Those are the local potters words in the Whitby Gazette article a few days ago paul, not mine, is he deliberately misleading people, or are you, obviously you can't both be right?

Time is ticking on every extractive activity paul, it is the ways of the world, the smart guys are well aware of this. I hope that you are up to it and I certainly hope that you have an A game hiding somewhere among all that waffle.....tick tock tick tock.....

 

Ps....scallop dredging has been regulated for decades, we are well used to marine management and its weird and wonderful policy drivers. I fear for currently unregulated and unmanaged activities for whom regulation is an alien concept.

 

To quote UK Government -

 

Our surveys also confirm what has been found elsewhere in Europe and overseas – that sea anglers can catch a significant amount of fish. “Surely”, you say “we catch tiny amounts compared to a trawler or a netter”. A bit of simple maths shows that if a million anglers catch just 1kg of fish each year, it adds up to 1000 tonnes, which is a lot of fish.

 

Sea Angling 2012 has provided good evidence that sea angling makes a big contribution to the economy, but it also has an impact on stocks. The angling community, commercial fishers, Defra, MMO, and IFCAs to can now use this evidence alongside commercial catches to ensure that the needs of all types of fishers are considered and represented in the development fishery policy.

Jeez paul, this is getting like dumb and dumber with the bright parts taken out.....

 

Those are not my words, those are the words of UK Government, you know, those people who make the rules and implement regulations. That is the official UK Government position on angler impact on stocks, it is slanted towards Bass and that favourite industrial take of yours, Cod....mind how you go.....
