National Longtail Tuna Survey |

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.
Stay tuned to Channel Ten news tonight for views and media statements.

Leading house members join fishermen at US Capitol Mar 8, 2010 By RFA (More articles by this author)
February 25, 2010
- Over 20 federal lawmakers joined several thousand fishermen from around the country next to the US Capitol last month in a three-hour rally supporting national fisheries reform. The first reports from journalists on the scene tabbed attendance at between 3,000 and 5,000 with fishermen standing elbow-to-elbow in Washington DC. 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.
