Fisheries (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

Until the fishing organisations came to speak to the marine committee yesterday, I did not realise how bad the situation is. The Norwegians had difficulties in regard to conservation but they brought in tough measures, implemented them and restored their fisheries. They patrolled, recorded and monitored and have reaped the benefits accordingly. It would appear that our fishermen would be willing to accept the same but would have to be assured that any new measures would be applied equally and fairly across the board.
