Ban purse seine nets: fishermen to agriculture minister

Coast is facing a serious threat of depletion due to rampant purse seine net fishing by trawlers," Maharashtra Fishermen Action Committee president Damodar Tandel said.

Purse seine net encircles entire schools of fish using a technique that resembles drawing of purse-strings.

"There is already a scarcity of fish in Konkan, and some species have been fished to extinction by purse seine fishing," Tandel said.

Purse seine nets can be spread over a 3-km radius, which leaves no catch for the small-level local fishermen. Moreover, according to Tandel, such fishing would finish off the marine life in the next 15 years.

He quoted a report by the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, which says that fish species and fish catch was on decline, and a closer monitoring of the situation was required.

Fish catch in Maharashtra has halved in recent years, from 449,000 tonnes in 2002 to 244,000 tonnes in 2010.

The state government had initiated action against the use of purse seine nets three years ago, but it was challenged by the boat owners in the court.

A Solomon Islands fisheries official says negotiations could be completed in the next week to enable fishing by foreign purse seine vessels to resume.

Fisheries Ministry investment coordinator Louisa Hodge-Kopa says fishing was suspended after the country reached its limit of days for purse seine vessel fishing under the Parties to the Nauru Agreement.

She says the Solomon Islands is negotiating with another PNA country to buy extra days after exhausting its limit.

“Because fishing conditions were so good this year in the Solomon Islands all of our vessel days were used in the earlier part of the year. Now under the vessel day scheme there is, you know cause fishing’s been good in the Solomons but it might not have been good say in other areas, like Kiribati or the Marshalls. So what the vessel day scheme allows is trading of days between countries.”

The eight countries that are party to the Nauru Agreement control 25 to 30 percent of the world’s tuna supply and have agreed to limit their fishing days to sustainably manage the resource.
