a press release from fisheries minister tim mulherin. a good serve of propaganda with some intresting numbers.

24 February 2010

the green machine in action again
Mar 05, 2010 - 8:04 PM - by caster226
i thought this was worth putting up more for the process than the story itself. it shows the green machine in action in west aussie again. the story is of a study which shows an increase in profits for business and catch rate increases for fishermen if large marine sanctuaries are put in place.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...05/2837299.htm

the study was commisioned by save our marine life. check out who they are.
