Fishing family vow to ignore marine reserves

[Boat Hog]

This report is from the ABC Landline program. This is another example of a sustainable fishery and the people involved being ignored and steamrolled by the Governments Marine Reserves.

"The Davey family fish for mackerel in the Gulf of Carpentaria, not with vast nets on an industrial scale, but with handlines. But now some of their best fishing grounds are being turned into marine reserves, a move Bruce Davey and his crew have vowed to ignore."

Worth watching the video.....
