Comments for Bycatch: Why it's bad for sharks at http://www.sharksavers.org , comment 1 to 1 out of 1 comments http://www.sharksavers.org Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:20:42 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.sharksavers.org/content/view/35/77/#comment-66 last year a fisherman dropped his long line in an area off north devon where a colony of porbeagle live and caught 60 in one go. in 2003 a fisherman did the same off the cornish coast and caught 100 porbeagle he then boasted he had landed 65 the previous week. In european waters fish quotas are given to fishermen to limit the size of their catch. There is no quota for any shark so they can catch what they like. How can we get protection from cites or some one else for sharks. Protect tem now before they all end up on along line. - dave ball Tue, 08 Apr 2008 08:32:31 +0100
