The Bass consultation documents are long and complex, so to cut through that we recommend you reply making just two key points:
- The highest priority should be adopting a new, higher stock level target, instead of killing the maximum number of bass possible over the long term.
- the overriding vision should be to “Maximise benefits for coastal communities from a sustainable bass fishery” and all decisions in the bass fishery should be aimed at delivering this vision. Don’t leave it as a subsidiary goal that can be kicked down the road and ignored.
