Hey mate some startling if not disturbing pics there & exactly the type of thing we need on the FF website
to make the public aware of what is happening.

Any chance you could arrange to put them on the site & any others you consider appropriate along
with a short commentary.
When you cry, feel pain or sadness, no one notices your sorrow .... BUT
fart just ONE time !!!!!!!!!!!

Guy Nathan Minister of Fisheries say everyone knows this fish is not fit for human consumption,
yes we know that but:
pry to being dumped it was fit for human consumption,
how did it become unfit is the point?
we have freezers, we have coolers,
but then we have a system where over fishing can be dumped,
why is it happening we are asking?????

and why is that only Progress dont have to pay for this fish if it is not sold?????????
gives no incentive to reduce the price or give to the needy like old folks homes or hospitals,
why for F^*K Sake over catch fish when it cant be used?????

this is what FISH FIGHT is all about putting this sort of thing in your face so the rest of NZ will stand up and be counted...

Thanks for everything you did for us Eric. may you rest in peace, You were one of the real legends of NZ recreational fishing

I hear you but my question is...do they need to fill the quota to retain it and is this why what your talking about is happening, do they have to fill it ?????

ok,  if all this is above board why would they elect to tell the company that turns the fish into blood and bone that anymore info like this gets out they will be shut down???
and why would they "MPI" threaten Kevin Rodgers with the loose of his Home Kill license if anymore of this is repeated??????
we also have a guy on here stating Pak an Sav have to purchase all their fish and refuse to have small fish for sale?????

so what sort of deal has Progress have with the Comms which allows them to discard with out penalty???? 

Edit: why are these people being threatened?????

my boss would never deal with progressive for the same reason,dictate price then not pay.unlike foodstuffs

quota,is it the quota holders forcing the lease holders to go catch limit as they want there money regardless of leaseholder making nil $

how i see it,
  "Fish Fight" one will be loud and in your face the other "LegaSea" will be doing the science/meetings/legal requirements/written papers, no different to what they are doing now,

having a second kid on the block to wind up the public/demonstrate/protest is no different to how other groups of professional people work,

it is a know fact that having a support team at arms length and to use when necessary to show how your backed by the public in mass numbers can effect the outcome, or your likely to become the next political asset without a job....

if done right Fish Fight could end up being a Political Party MMP is ripe for this sort of thing....
yeah that is a bit far in advance but achievable if things are done right...

I attended a meeting last nite with the Fish Fight NZ Team.
Great bunch of people and i can see this moving forward and in the Right Direction.

Please have a good look at this people

The fish in New Zealand's waters belong to the people of New Zealand - We need to remind the Politicians again who elected them and why.

I am pleased this campaign is trying to reduce the waste in commercial fishing. It is an important factor in allowing any future improvement in recreational fishing.

I would also love to see an on-going campaign, that addresses two major objectives -
According recreational fishing higher priority than commercial.
Banning commercial fishing in some areas.

I believe that, only with these protections, will recreational fishing be able to recover from it's current decline.

your right letsgetem,
but we have to concentrate on one obstacle at a time,
wastage is first up plus this means something to everyone,
its also an eye opener/in your face, with graphic photos that will shock people into supporting the coarse....
