|
1
|
To
design and implement educational strategies to truthfully inform
recreational fishers of the immediate dangers and future consequences
of the document "Soundings", which attempts to solve the perceived
problems of managing recreational fishers through three options. |
|
2
|
To devise
a broad strategy that mitigates the extreme risks associated
with the three proposals in the soundings document and create
a fourth option for managing the recreational fishery without
committing recreational fishers to unnecessary risks.
|
|
3
|
To release
the forth option through all available media to prevent any
possibility of the consultation process on the Soundings document
gathering submissions from the fishing public without informing
them of the real risks associated with the solutions promoted
in that document.
|
|
4
|
To create
a unified position for the recreational sector to lobby towards.
This will defeat any possibility that MoF officials, the Commercial
sector or Maori Traditional representatives, can turn or confound
the multitude of varied submissions likely to result from
the public consultation, to drive their own agendas forward.
|
|
5
|
To establish
a mandate from clubs, associations, and individuals with an
interest in recreational fishing to pursue the fourth option
directly with Fisheries managers on their behalf.
