http://youtu.be/xzpPK1pAlLA . The area in this video is only a marine protected area on paper. Every day there are a lot of trammel nets nearly in every part of this area. about 4 years ago there was a public meeting with the environment minister who said that as long as he will be minister it will become a marine protected area but till today everything remained the same the area full of trammel nets.
How can they make this video using EU funds and they are going to show it in schools without verifying if it is really a marine protected area not only on paper. those who did this video should go to the responsible ministry and make sure that they will make a marine protected area.
2 years ago i emailed the Protected Areas Ecosystems Management Unit Environment Protection Directorate to ask them if it does make sense that they use nets in a marine protected area and the reply was that discussions are still going on and that the area is regulated with the national fishing laws and told me to contact the fisheries for these regulations. trammel nets can be used in this area so they are not breaking the law. it seems that the discussion is still going on because everything remained the same.
The result can be seen from the video itself. when i see a video from a marine protected area say from Italy there will be maybe 100 times more fish in it and not a few cawl and griewel and 1 trilja and 1 john dory and 1 serrana. were are the dnieci , acciol, groupers, sargi, barracuda, kahli, pagri, brieqex. if you go and fish there and you catch a few serran you would have made a good catch.
