The head of Australia's fishery management authority has defended the organisation's handling of declining fisheries after criticism it didn't respond quickly enough to the changing climate.

AFMA is introducing fishing quotes and closing fish hotspot areas to aid in rebuilding the species' population

"I suggest there has been a cultural resistance to change, especially within the Australian Fisheries Management Authority," Senator Whish-Wilson said.'Devastating' impact "Under our arrangements, we need to put in place measures to build it back up to that 20 per cent limit as quickly as we can." The trawl fishing industry estimates it caught about 110 tonnes in the last year, which is roughly a quarter of its 400t quota.The catch of eastern Jackass Morwong declined in 2014 but has since stabilised

As an additional measure, AFMA proposed closing five hotspot areas for the species from Victoria's Gippsland down to south-east Tasmania.The closure of the fisheries is expected to aid the struggling morwong and preserve about 625t of other fish species caught in those areas.

Drivel

An irrelevant consideration.

One things for sure CO2 man-man or otherwise isn't the main driver of CC.
