Seafood industry slams WWF calls for fishing ban The Queensland Seafood Industry Association says the Coral Sea needs a sustainable management plan and not a complete ban on fishing. A World Wildlife Fund study claims shark populations in the area are under threat and could be wiped out without the right protection. Association president Neil Green says some environmental groups are out of touch. "We've got the world starving for fish or for food in particular and we've got these groups saying we shouldn't access that resource, we should just let them die of natural causes and that's just not acceptable to an industry that means so much to Queensland," he said. |
