great white Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Is this the thing that will sort out the fish conservation issue Fuel so damn expensive that the commercial boys and us RSA's can not afford to go to where the fish are. Inshore fishing will suffer and offshore?? Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Interesting though Charlie, I was only thinking much along the same lines. It is becoming more and more uneconomical to trawl for fish. This surely, must help conservation ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Give it 50 years and: - They'll be using sailing trawlers, longliners and rod and line boats for all fishing; - They'll ban the use of engines outside 100m of a safe harbour; - Fish stocks will recover enough to make this viable; - Food prices will remain high enough for a modest catch of fish to allow a living; - Angling clubs will have 100s of members. Oh, and any boat with patio doors will be re-rigged with a keel, mast and sails. Mike PS Nice to be ahead of the curve for once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
