For Immediate Release – 29 August 2021 Get Your Voice Heard! The EU Commission is currently consulting on fishing catch limits (“fishing opportunities”) for 2022, including for sea bass. It is vitally important that sea anglers reply to the consultation and get their voices heard. (If you want to know why the EU still matters for sea bass post-Brexit, please read the SOSB blog here: https://www.saveourseabass.org/eu-consultation-on-fishing-opportunities-for-2022/). SOSB's ask for the bass fishery in 2022 is: increase the sea angling season to 10 months (1 March to 31 December) to match the commercial open season; increase the bag limit to 3 bass per person per day; and target the scientists' lower level of removals of 1,859 tonnes, not 2,216 tonnes, so the stock will grow in 2022, not shrink. To find out more about what SOSB wants for the bass fishery and why, please read our blog here: https://www.saveourseabass.org/sea-bass-catch-limits-for-2022/ Here is the link to take you straight to the EU consultation: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/12937-Towards-more-sustainable-fishing-in-the-EU-state-of-play-and-orientations-for-2022_en NB: Closing date is Tuesday 31 August (so hurry!)

One of the only reasons I will miss Rockley is the trip out of the harbour, The views as you plod on by are some of the best going though the harbour.
