chippie 5 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I don't understand why there aren't 20, 30, 40, or 50 Goat Island type reserves in the Gulf. They would just take up a small fraction of the Gulf area and would surely make at least a small difference. I was up at Kawau for the weekend and saw several instances of people fishing, catching only small ones and throwing them back in. Do those small ones actually survive?

Fogg 177 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I’ve stopped fishing. To get fair my track record doesn’t exactly make me a big environmental threat but I’ve decided to give it a rest and use the time to swim or read instead.

lateral 110 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Me too. Informed crew, no fishing in the gulf. A bit off resistance. Embrace it or don't come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
