Hi All
The Department of fisheries is looking to reduce the current kreef season by cutting it in half.
We currently have 183 tons and Fisheries' proposal is to cut it to 83.5 tons.
Melkbos to Yzers (Area 7) is to be closed to all fishing including commercial. (An 80 ton "research" allocation will be allowed for commercial trap boats.
Please urgently contact Cary Steele Boe at Recreational Fisheries Services and provide your comments.
The survey that was conducted on the economic value of recreational kreef is not being released
The only reason given for suppressing the survey is that Fisheries would like to do more research.
