Fishery Policy: Statements.
There have been some differences between the fishermen and the aquaculture farmers, which is understandable but regrettable. We need to find ways of allowing the two industries become compatible and those involved to live in peace. It is a little like the old song from Oklahoma, "The farmer and the cowman should be friends". I would very much like to see these two important elements of the fishing industry being able to live in harmony and thrive for the benefit of the communities they maintain and the wider economy.
