Australia's recently established marine reserves

mardi 27 août 2013 à 14:00

Australia's right-wing party says it will cater to fishermen by eliminating recently established marine reserves.

There is no one less concerned with the long term health of fisheries than the fishermen. They have a culture of short-term thinking, which is why they object to marine reserves; that reserves increase fish stocks outside, and lead to higher catches a few years later, is too long-term for them to appreciate.
