Just think, that if any "G" party (government and greens) had any logical brain cell located anywhere in their body, they would realise that they are doing EVERY thing the wrong way.
How much TAX PAYERS MONEY are they wasting to do all this?
How much interferance and pollution are they contributing to the environment for the testing and research for their so called studies?
The greenhouse gas emissions produced to run all their hi-tech gizmo's!!
All the paper, inks, computers, printers, cars, boats, everything they use is made from non reuseable materials, jeeez they even use the wrong kind of light bulbs in their own houses and offices, have fancy business cards, bla bla bla.
They have already blown a couple billion dollars and ruined the life of our future generations just to try and stop people from doing something NATURAL...Fishing!!!
With ALL of the money and resources they have wasted over the many years this crap has been going on, all they had to do was create a few or even many artificial reefs, declare some of them as "no go" zones for ALL, the fishies will have several safe havens to hang out in and get lucky a few times, and before you know it (in a lot less time than the greencrappers will admit) the stocks are all healthy again.
It's not rocket science....we save money and give the fish other options of places to reproduce in large numbers, we get rewarded for our efforts with what they offer us, fresh seafood...one of our daily 5 requirements for a healthy diet!! OR we can let the government continue on it's merry way and run the country the way the others do....into the ground!
Sustainability isn't closing productive areas, it is creating more productive areas.
We build bigger cities to help us, why don't we build bigger or more reefs to help our fish?
