LegaSea Update NZ Fisher. Dumping and wastage must stop. 25 March 2015

Fish dumping and unnecessary wastage in our fisheries has to stop, any many of you have the handiest tool to address it – your cellphone camera. Several trawlermen have revealed that dumping happens on every trawl. One skipper estimates 10-15 bins of undersized fish were thrown back dead after every trawl. The crew is required by law to discard undersized fish, but damaged or unmarketable fish are dumped as well.
