that doesnt matter iceman,

it doesnt matter If it "initially does not look as bad as we first thought it might be", bit by bit, they are removing areas from our use.

 

first its the existing marine park zones, now they want to bring in these ones, and then in ten years time they take a bit more away from us, and so on, and so on, until we are left with nothing.

 

also, the "Threatened" white shark, blue whale, sea lion, etc are all species that are on the comeback already, so why do they need more protection? give the changes time to have an effect first, before you again modify the rules.

I know some people arent happy, but its not exactly the doom and gloom "cant fish anywhere you can launch a boat" that people suggested it would be.

The World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) was not created to save endangered species. .42 A few months before Philip launched the WWF, he was with the Queen on a royal tour of India. This included a tiger shoot in which a tiger was lured into range by tethered goats to be shot dead by Philip the ‘conservationist’

Not as bad as I expected it

Not as bad as I expected it to be, it's a lot harder on scallop and trawling profisherman than on the recs.

some of it is not 100% clear to me if it's no take zoning or marine park limited take zoning, but the devil will be in the detail.

Norman moores repsonse is more vital to see how he stands on it and what trade off to Pro's will be offered in sacrfice of Rec Fishing Rights if they locked out.????
