Save Our Seas

:sunny: MERRY MEET,

THE STATE GOVERNMENT HERE IN VICTORIA ARE ATTEMPTING TO IMPLEMENT MARINE AND COASTAL PARKS ACROSS THE STATE BUT HAVE HIT SOME VOCAL RESISTANCE BY THE PROFESSIONAL AND RECREATIONAL :bad:FISHERMEN. THESE PARKS ARE PROPOSED IN REPONSE TO DECLINES AND CRASHES IN SOME :shot:FISHERIES.

ALTHOUGH BOTH THESE GROUPS THAT THESE PARKS ARE A GOOD IDEA THEY ARE AGAINST AREAS BECOMING NO TAKE AREAS. IT IS A NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) ARGUEMENT AS THEY SEE THAT SOME MUST BE DONE TO PROTECT OUR SEA LIFE BUT NOT IF IT AFFECTS/INTERFERS WITH THEM. PART OF THEIR ARGUMENT IN THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE BUT IF THEY USE AND FISH THE WATERS ALL THE TIME, :confused:HOW ARE SCIENTISTS GOING TO GET THE EVIDENCE THE FISHERMEN ASK FOR.

WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS?

For those who want to continue depleting and destroying
our oceans, toss them in....marine life needs to eat too. :D


For those who love, time is eternity....

:D :D :D YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

The Victorian State Government today announced that they are IMPLEMENTING 12 Marine National Parks and 10 smaller Marine Sanctuaries covering just 5% of Victoria's Coastline. :)

:uzi: Fishermen have 95% of the coastline to fish in so what's the problem with 5% being set aside to protect marine life.:rolleyes:
