SNA8 Printed From: The Fishing Website Category: General Forums Forum Name: Fisheries Management Forum Description: Anything to do with fisheries management here please URL: https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=135701 Printed Date: 02 Jun 2023 at 12:20am Topic: SNA8 Posted By: smudge Subject: SNA8 Date Posted: 26 Jul 2021 at 6:14am SNA8 submissions close soon. If you don't know what that means then you don't care about our fishery. Here's what I had to say: We all know Sanfords who take 96% of the SNA8 TACC are behind this. We have all seen kilometres of dead fish (mostly small gurnard) floating behind the trawlers. This is about commercial fishers (Sanfords) increasing the snapper quota to increase their "by catch" of gurnard, John dory & terakihi so they can fill those quotas. Yes they will double (or close to it) their snapper quota but it is way bigger than that. It is about increasing their catch of ALL species. Sustainable fishing? No. Not even close. ------------- Best gurnard fisherman in my street
