On that point, IFI has no remit when it comes to habitat protection so it is essentially just looking after the fish. If one arm of IFI is saying it wants to increase the number of fish and the other arm is saying it wants to encourage a reduction in the number of fish, then that is a difficult position in which to put the organisation. The staff do great work but that is a very difficult position to put them in.
