The outline Hardy gave is pretty much what Legasea HB have been doing. They've been building a relationship with both MPI and commercial fishing interests. Apparently they are both listening and most thinking people know Rome wasn't built in a day. Suggestions that they and the NZACA are conducting a "lot of waffle that achieves nothing" are ignorant and unfair but typical of the writer.
Personally I take my hat off to them particularly knowing the amount of time they "dedicate' to the sport. The sad thing is some of there critics will benefit from there efforts in time. Good on them for dogmatically sticking to this thankless task, mostly because they are trying to do good for the fishery, rather than any self interest, particularly in the face of some pretty staunch opposition.
