Steve S Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Studland Bay Offshore Overfalls Utopia Bembridge Norris to Ryde Yarmouth to Cowes The Needles are up for consideration. Plus also management measures are being now considered at the same time plus also for the 1st round sites. Without which the whole thing is a total waste of time IMO. The big question is which management measures. http://www.rya.org.uk/newsevents/news/Pages/SitesforsecondtrancheofMCZs.aspx?utm_source=InBrief&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=mar14-inbrief-nonmem Steve Quote
Mike Fox Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Management measures needed are simple: - monitoring (both official and unofficial) - evidencing to enforcement authorities (photos, lat/long, date/time) - defined enforcement authorities (Southern IFCA?) - legal procedures to seek conviction at an appropriate court - defined penalties that can be applied (e.g.punitive fines and take the boat). Failing that, gun boats Mike lofty 1 Quote
Steve S Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Posted March 6, 2014 The main thing is what is going to be banned, at the moment in the MCZs nothing is restricted any more than in the nearby waters. Clearly a complete nonsense. lofty 1 Quote
great white Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 The main thing is what is going to be banned, at the moment in the MCZs nothing is restricted any more than in the nearby waters. Clearly a complete nonsense. That definately seemed to be the message that we heard at the Feb Club meeting, hardly fills me with hope that this is one of our best hopes for the future Quote
Stuie Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 If I recall correctly 'voluntary agreements' with commercial fishermen was the method being used to manage the current sites.. Quote
Coddy Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Mike I know IFCA are unwilling to take boats at the moment as they have no storage and they are responsable for the craft whilst under their care, i.e. before a court has made a judgement. If the boat is stolen then that is the responsability of the Police, however many of the people caught, claim the boat is not thiers so until it is proved who the owner is nothing can be done. Quote
charlieannear Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 As I understand it the intention is to bring in 'proper' controls- it's just that they haven't done it yet. The wheels of these things turn (too) slowly. Quote
