Now they want to protect the crabs. 🙄

Rather than ban bait collecting, maybe they should prosecute the Chinese families who are picking the shoreline clean. I’ve seen them at it so many times, but they are just let off all the time. It can all be found on the Angling Trust’s website.

Yep, all of our oysters have gone! All that’s left is their impressions in the rocks!

The other day I watched a group of Chinese moving in a long line collecting anything & every thing, off my local beach.They also go up my local pier catching all the squid & anything else they can catch, & keeping it all regardless of size. !!!!

They’re also in the Colne and are a hazard to boats if they run aground, especially the fibreglass dinghies.

They were until the Chinese stripped the rocks here.
Last time it happened I phoned the police but they didn't seem interested.

You have to phone the fisheries and they might come out, but they probably won’t.

So is the AT doing anything?
Or are they just waiting for someone else and then jump on it like it is them doing it?

I've reported it many times, to various organisations, and nothing is done.

Chinese trawlers here have stripped the Coast with their dragnets. Local forces and govt are paid off.

Their is basically nothing left..

They are inviting people to comment on the proposal.

There was an organised massive cull of Rock (Pacific) oysters in the SW a few years back, due to a rapid expansion of the "invader". Not sure about any more recent/repeat culls.

(Apparently they were not harvested for consumption - merely crunched to death in situ !! But no doubt fish enjoyed their easy meal and got a bit plumper on the next tide.)

like the sound of that

due to a rapid expansion of the "invader"

never a truer word
