Closed Save our Fishermen: Lobby for our fishermen to be allowed to gill net for bass.

Closed on

We are calling on George Eustice, the UK Fisheries Minister, to reject the Commission's proposals and not to cave in to angling lobbyist. A lot of our struggling small boat commercial fishermen (under 10’s) depend on netting sea bass to keep their businesses afloat.
