The Green Room
An interesting and somewhat enlightening discussion currently going on on the NZ Herlad web site titled... "How well are we managaing our fish stocks?"
Check it out: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10628625
Some very interesting responses, largely in favour of a big fat NO response. Interestingly it is those either directly working for or closely associated with the fishing industry that are the ones with the 'positive' views.
Seriously....
If you have not yet checked this NZ Herald forum out you MUST!
8 pages of comments and they're still rolling in.
The only people saying that NZ IS managing it's fish stocks well are...
Wayne McNee - CEO of the Ministry of Fisheries
Sid Pickering - Editor of the New Zealand Seafood Magazine
George Clements - Manager of the fishing industry group Deep Water Group
Interesting and enlightening to say the least.
Especially given HEAPS of responders are ex commercial fishers!
WoooHooooo...
Now cheif fisheries scientist at NIWA is telling it how it really is.... GUESSWORK:
