Well worth a look, especially the bass conservation update.

Stuie,

Hidden in the pdf documents is a section asking for recreational anglers' views by Jan 15th. And contact details. May be similar to the one earlier in the year, but people might want to express their views again or add things.

 

in my own case, I will make a reference to the lack of mackeral and trawling, especially inshore and the Swash as I feel that even though the fish caught may be deemed by Sifca as having no great commercial value, they have a tremendous value to the recreational angler and charter fleet.

 

Could the relevant sections be extracted and highlighted as well as the Public Consulation Dates in Poole etc. Given the short time span do we as a Club wish to make a submission?

 

Allan.

Allan you're no doubt referring to the section of the newsletter covering the Southern IFCA Public Consultation on Review of Management Measures, and the link in it which gives access to the consultation document and list of public meetings in early January 2015.

Any interested person is entitled to make their views known and to attend the meetings.

I struggled with the continuity of the consultation document - but that's probably my age..

Thanks for the reminder, I'll go along to the Thistle hotel on Tuesday pm

I think you will find it is a "drop in" centre where you look comment and go

 

I doubt there will be any "formal" meeting as such

[Paul J]

Ill be down about 4pm

 

 

It would send the right message if this was well attended by anglers, a show of strength in numbers can help focus the mind. it has always been the case of those who shout loudest.... and up to now we've been a mere whisper.

 

Minimum landing sizes and inshore netting restrictions will be high on my agenda as will protection of bass, but by targeting the biggest culprits not Anglers

Hope to see you around 4pm. Will see if I can get a few more to come along.

Dear All,

I am writing to inform you that Southern IFCA is holding a public Review of Management Measures consultation during January 2015. The consultation will provide the Southern IFCA community with an opportunity to engage with us and shape the way their fisheries are managed in the future. Stakeholders’ feedback will directly inform a plan outlining how Southern IFCA’s fisheries will be managed in line with our duties and objectives as an IFCA.  We would like to invite you to attend one of our four public drop-in meetings, held during the week commencing 5^th January. At each meeting there will be a short presentation to introduce and explain the review to attendees, following which there will be an opportunity to speak with a member of Authority staff about your experiences and views. These meetings will be held at:

• Weymouth Angling Society DT4 8NF on Monday 5th January, 15:00 to 19:00

• The Thistle Hotel, Poole BH15 1HD on Tuesday 6th January, 10:00 to 18:00

The consultation document, providing context for the review, can be found along with more information on the news page of our website: http://www.southern-ifca.gov.uk/news. Please could you inform anybody you know who may be interested in this consultation.
