Best to have disinterested parties making the decisions on issues they have no interest in - difficult but possible. However, you'd need to be sure those decision makers had all of the relevant facts and a track record of good decision making. Any suggestions for who might decide over the 'close to shore set-netting issue'? jh – yours is a very good point.

Or are you blaming the Government for declaring moratoriums to protect endangered 'beings'? jh – are you equating vandals with fishermen and laying the blame at their feet?

In the same vane there used to be a giant Matai tree near L. Ianthe but when the govt declared a moratorium on native logging it was vandalised and had to be felled (for safety).

Unfortunately when industry lobby groups talk about economics they are only interested in the short term, mostly the "economy" of the directors. Ultimately environmentalists care the most about the economy because when the planet is totally trashed there will be very little economic activity at all. Yes that would be right.

Setting up a no-fishing area often leads to improved fishing outside the area as the fish stocks in the no-fishing zone recover and the fish move outside the no-fishing zone. So there is often gain rather than loss to the fishing industry even over relatively short timescales. Trevor. My understanding is that it is very short term economic interest that is impacted.
