Its on these persons that enforcement should be applied not on us "easy" to catch fishermen.

Send these photos to Malta Maritime to take action.

Arti2 · March 23, 2010, 11:41:06 CET

Topic forwarded to Fisheries Control who I believe took action. Perhaps they can update us.

can I take a guess before we receive a reply. They are full time fisherman who have the necessary license but they were using this boat as the MF boat is undergoing repairs ?!?!?!?!?!?! At the moment of the picture being taken they were dragging the net as it was stuck to the bottom........now try to argue against that.........

I have sent these photos to a senior MMA officer, who is a friend of mine, and told me that these photos are already in possesion of the AFM unit.

This is not the only gut that collects nets in the morning. After this case there were 2 days where you cannot see anyone with the nets but after somedays again you see more of them. If they watch these guys they will surely catch them.

'Trammels and gilling nets are not allowed to be used from
the 15th February to the 15th July' in marked places.

Action is being taken with regards to posted photos. I had confirmation this afternoon.

what do you mean with 'marked places'?

robby017 · March 26, 2010, 22:34:46 CET

i think he means the red and white coloums

First of all I made a mistake not 'only gut' but 'guy'.

The marks are the coloured pillars white & red and Black & White.
