Re: MAF Archived Message Posted by Jase on 28/9/2008, 7:31 pm, in reply to "Re: MAF" "This change will allow MAF to change the total allowable catch for any particular fish stock without need for exhaustive "scientific" proof of the fact that the stock is at an unsustainable level....often times when MAF decides to reduce a total allowable catch level they get taken to court on the grounds that that there is no "measurable" proof that the particular stock is in decline......(When anyone any person who fishes in the area would offer the same opinion), however when it comes to a challenge in court, opinions simply don't hold weight." Would it then be fair to say that this option also works in the opposite way and allows the TACC to be increased without the same said research? This could be a big problem in my opinion.
