FROM LESASEA: - More Fish In The Water Here is an example of the kind of thing you could tell them, although just putting fisheries or fishing or something like that would still be fine. Management of our inshore fisheries. It is time political parties got specific about the following policies 1. Inshore fish stocks to have a target stock size of B40 - i.e., 40% of the unfished or virgin biomass 2. No increases to commercial quotas until the non-commercial and other mortality allowances have been properly identified and allowed for – including discussion and provision for future population growth 3. Wastage caused by inappropriate bulk harvesting methods is dealt with once and for all 4. Resource the public to research and consult with themselves to develop ways to conserve fish to accelerate the rebuild of inshore fish stocks. Politicians and officials may well be surprised at what measured the public are willing to embrace to conserve fish if 1, 2 and 3 above are addressed squarely 5. Resource a program to elevate public awareness and understanding of the suite of customary fisheries management tools that are available to both tangata whenua and the public at large.
