Fisheries Minister Ben Bradshaw said bass pair trawling would immediately be banned from within 12 miles of the region Quote
great white Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Does this mean that he has only banned British Boats from trawling inshore when the damage is done offshore by the frogs? It seems to read that way, although greenpeace are bound tobe negative Or is this the start of an effort to preserve some life out there before its to late. Charlie Quote
Newboy Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 If that means no pair trawlers within 12 miles inshore, at least it will give the fish some breathing/breeding space. Have to agree with Charlie tho, it ain't doing much good to the dolphins Quote
