Including that dude down south who was on telly a while back, that has a metal cage instead of a cod end on his trawl net, eliminating undersize by catch etc? He seemed like a decent chap......
In reality, we will never get inshore trawling banned, but we should agitate continually to get them to upgrade from old, environmentally damaging systems and techniques.

Self inflicted. Years of bottom trawling and tossing back undersize dead or alive.

Wouldnt it be a good idea to ban inshore trawling in a seriously depleted area for say 2 -3 years and then do some serious scientific research before and after the trial to see if and how much improvement there is in the fish population?

Couldnt hurt imo

A series of rolling marine parks, where rec fishing is allowed, but no commercial fishing, set an area aside for say three years, and then after three years, start moving along a quarter of the original area every year. that way swaths of coastline could be protected for several years, and have a chance to recover. After four years Comms would be allowed in to harvest on more or less new grounds, which couldn't be a bad thing either for them.

There has been no trawling  around the cable zone for 25/30 yrs?there is still no sign of growth or fish life

Recovery? As far as fish that would be doubtful as the area is Hamered just outside by commercial. .but within one would suspect the ecological regrowth on the seabed would be showing signs improvement? ?
