Mr. Séamus Bonner:

One of the things we are trying to do is get people to move away from non-quota species that they are stuck fishing all year round. This puts pressure on shellfish stocks of crab and lobster, which are under real pressure. Traditionally, people would have fished seasonally so there would have been different fishing seasons at different times of the year and it would give different stocks time to rest so one stock is not being fished very hard. That is what the islands heritage Bill aims to do. We want to return to that fishing practice where certain things are fished at certain times and species are allowed to rest at other times regardless of whether they are breeding or moving offshore. Giving access to different quota species provides people with the flexibility to target fish when they are in their area and when they are able to fish them due to weather and things like that. I do not know if Mr. Early wants to come in on that.
