Petition update, 31 October 2007

More details from petition creator

A Marine Bill White Paper, was published on 15 March 2007, in which it was proposed that recreational sea anglers should pay for a rod licence to fund work to improve sea angling and fish stocks in our coastal waters. Not only would this be extremely expensive and almost impossible to enforce, it is also impossible to manage fish stocks to the same extent as our inland waters. We have had the right to fish freely along our coast for as long as man has walked this island, it is one of the few fundamental rights we have left in this country and I do not believe we should lose that right.
