Send A Protest!
Fisho has prepared a protest letter to federal Fisheries Minister Joe Ludwig and his Parliamentary Secretary Dr Mike Kelly, as well as Opposition fisheries spokesman Senator Richard Colbeck, outlining concerns about the proposed deal that will see unsustainable numbers of billfish and tuna caught by the local longline fleet off the east coast over the next 12 months. See the full story HERE.

You can also print the PDF, sign it (add in any other comments you wish as well) and send it by post to:

If you want to have healthy stocks of gamefish in our waters, you need to make the politicians aware that you don’t support the unsustainable commercial exploitation of tuna and marlin.
Over to you.
