Code of conduct for fishing reinforced by Nelson industry

February 11, 2018 International News

Nelson’s commercial fishermen have reinforced their backing for an industry-wide code of conduct to stamp out illegal practices. The code was developed by New Zealand’s major fishing companies to reinforce last year’s Promise media campaign to improve catch practices. As part of a 13-port tour, Seafood New Zealand chief executive Tim Pankhurst and Fisheries Inshore New Zealand chief executive Dr Jeremy Helson visited Nelson last Friday. >click to read< 15:19

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
