Mr. Eamon Dixon:

I will give a very good example of that that is very important for all the members to hear. They may hear that in the past, inshore fishermen were a broken group and argued more often with themselves than with the powers against which they should have been arguing. However, something that has really strengthened how the inshore sector has improved over recent years is what is now happening with offshore renewables and the committee that was set up by Robert McCabe. I think it actually had a meeting today. Inshore has integrated into that brilliantly. The work being done by all the people who sit on that committee, not just the inshore people, shows that if inshore representatives are given a chance to work with people, they are well capable of doing so and we can find successful solutions to most the problems. The same will go for the MPAs and so on. If the powers that be sit down with the inshore representatives, ways can be found. Fishing should not be banned in any area. There can be ways of mitigating the effort being made there in order to be able to continue some of it.
