National Longtail Tuna Survey
Mar 12, 2010 - 3:36 PM - by Scott nthQld
Just read about this: http://www.longtailtuna.com.au/ So what's everyone's take on it, especially how AIMS, CSIRO and the Qld Govt has shafted us in the past with our own information voluntarily given. It's also worth it to note that Recfish Australia, Sunfish Qld, Recfishwest and a bunch of other Rec fishing lobby groups are supporting it. It that more of 'let's not bite the hand that feeds us (all are Govt funded) or do they genuinely think that this 'survey' will do more good than harm to our industry?

NEWS...... just in that the Tiwi Pearl has been sunk today. ( Fri 12th march 2010 ) " From DERM," this was due to the ship taking on a lot of water during the recent high winds and rough seas. The ship had been tied to pontoons over the Harry Aitkensen Reef, but was deemed to be ' vunerable and unsafe ' to leave the ship until Sundays planned sinking.

The rally was historic in that it was the first time that members of both the recreational and commercial sector found common ground in a cause for reform. "An incredible success," said Jim Donofrio, Executive Director of the Recreational Fishing Alliance (RFA) and one of the key organizers of the historic rally. [Read More]
