@ScotGovMarine start with a seal cull . they are the biggest problem in coastal waters salmon have no chance against them . MS don't want to accept it as it upsets the greens
@CCNScotland@WildGreyMe biggest load of plum I have ever watched . just another group to speak a load of nonsense to the public and politicians who are gullible enough to take it in and to put multiple fisherman out of business
@TheOpenSeas any politician that listens and crumbles to the pressure/nonsense that the likes of @TheOpenSeas spout aren't worth being in the position they work in
@marinescotland when are MS going to waken up and admit that a seal cull is severely needed if they are going to save the #wildsalmon . the fish can't reach the rivers as getting eaten by the seals
@BallycroftBally@TheOpenSeas@SP_RuralAffairs if there is ever to be a 3 mile limit ...every trawlermen should then push for every creel in the sea to be inside 3 mile then that would be fun with you ...it would open up a lot of ground again that the single handed greedy creel man has closed off
@BallycroftBally@TheOpenSeas@SP_RuralAffairs fishing is just the same as farming ....the ground has to be worked and if you take 1 thing out of the equation the bottom becomes a barron waste land as the nutrients aren't getting released from the seabed to feed other species
@BallycroftBally@TheOpenSeas@SP_RuralAffairs bally and @TheOpenSeas I'm now thinking that you lot are delusional on your crusade to get a 3 mile limit . if that happens you are going to put a lot of people out the door and onto the Job centre / benefits system .
@BallycroftBally@TheOpenSeas@SP_RuralAffairs how can you improve trawl effort when the trawlers are getting pushed out of local inshore waters by the creel fleet ( greed by the creelers ) on shooting more gear and hauling them once in a week as too much to haul every 2nd or 3rd day like it used to be
@TheOpenSeas@ourseas_scot why would anyone sign a petition that is going to put loads of fishermen out of a job . Just to satisfy the greed of the creel sector .
@TheOpenSeas spatial footprint !! Dont make me laugh !! it's about time Joe public understands that the creel lads shouting for this is the most over fished fishery in the UK . there is no space left inshore so they are trying to lay claim to grounds that have been trawled for years .
@TheOpenSeas the only unsustainable fishery that is going on round about Britain is CREELS as totally unregulated fishery there is .if they don't catch the same as last year so what do they do put out more creels , every inshore creel fisher asking for a 3 mile limit is doing it for greed
@DunoonSNP @scotgov rather then reading nonsense try actually going out to sea for a week or 2 and see how much cod your so called modelling says that are getting killed . ..these so called specialist have probably never been on a trawler to see things 1st hand
@harrietalvis it just shows that all you greens and tree huggers know very little on the life cycles of salmon and the amount salmon of other fish that seals actually eat ...
@harrietalvis if there was a seal cull there would be plenty fish to get up the rivers to reproduce. there has been millions spent on tracking salmon ...when are the powers at be give us the results of how much end up in seals stomachs... it would also help all inshore fish stocks
@david_duguid@ABZ_Airport@HouseofCommons HAHA you really are a comedian . serve #banffandbuchan .. name one good thing you have managed to sort out ...only good thing you are good at is Shafting the fishing industry and dodging things that really matter
