Google the name of this Fishing Vessel, if you think that the Pew Group are bad for fishing wait until this monster gets to Tassie. It is trying to leave Holland but Greenpeace have stopped it at the moment.
It is supposed to be fishing for bait fish off tassie , then where next east coast, south coast and then the west. I have sent an email to Sunrise about this and the Pew Group, the more we get complaining
the better chance we have of being heard.
