Re: Sea Bass poaching - BBC Inside Out
How are the fisheries officers supposed to ever patrol all that area? One officer looking after 4 large nurseries.
Fishing in the dead of night on a boat with no torches is mental.
On the other hand if the reporter managed to watch 5 boats land in a short time frame maybe the fisheries officers and Police should be doing more. Maybe heaftier fines etc maybe would have an impact.
Glad to hear some of them were coming back with nothing to show. Just hope it is not because they have wiped the stocks out

Re: Sea Bass poaching - BBC Inside Out
The ignorance and greed shown by some of these people is beyond my understanding. 
Why is none of the authorities taking any action?
If it can be done by journalists as the video proofs here, it sureley must be within the reach of law enforcement bodies too to deal with this activities
