Fisherman Protest

[great white]

Is this the thing that will sort out the fish conservation issue

 

Fuel so damn expensive that the commercial boys and us RSA's can not afford to go to where the fish are.

 

Inshore fishing will suffer and offshore??

Interesting though Charlie, I was only thinking much along the same lines. It is becoming more and more uneconomical to trawl for fish. This surely, must help conservation ?

Give it 50 years and:

- They'll be using sailing trawlers, longliners and rod and line boats for all fishing;

- They'll ban the use of engines outside 100m of a safe harbour;

- Fish stocks will recover enough to make this viable;

- Food prices will remain high enough for a modest catch of fish to allow a living;

- Angling clubs will have 100s of members.

 

Oh, and any boat with patio doors will be re-rigged with a keel, mast and sails.

PS Nice to be ahead of the curve for once!
