Crazyhorse 47 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Seems the "message" was sent several times and ignored. Habitual offender and 18 months not long enough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Pope 243 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Not mussels but fishing related, Tons of on deck footage taken with on deck cameras. 2 + years worth I believe, only 15% viewed to date. Quite a few instances of "dodgy behaviour found in that 15% some now off limits as the statute of limitations has made them off limits! I remember a commercial fisho stating that given the No. of cameras needing to be installed throughout the fleet that it would be an impossibility to check/view them all.

Wayne-o 12 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Commercial fishers won't be chased until MPI is changed. An easy fix for reviewing the footage would be if it was online. Volunteers would happily review it and identify dodgy practices. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
