The Kimberley - Like Nowhere else on Earth - Help Protect it. Facebook fishing petition

Hey all,

There is a petition going around on Facebook to protect the Kimberley by implementing more no take zones that a friend of mine shared, I read through all the info and at the end it shows it is sponsored by PEW.  I put up a post about their previous antics which has been deleted from the wall, also a link to http://www.westernangler.com.au/articles/editorials/695 discussing the supposed benefits of no take zones on the GBR and a peer reviewed scientific paper www.esajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1890/14-1427.1 showing that Large-scale expansion of no-take closures within the Great Barrier Reef has not enhanced fishery production. Ecological Applications.

Please be aware that PEW is at it again trying to lock us out of more areas in our own country. www.fishingworld.com.au/news/pew-admits-it-targeted-australia-for-lockouts-left-us-alone

Apparently no dissension or non positive comment will be tolerated:/

Way to stifle the debate.
