It has been leaked that the UK Government is thinking to water down the proposal of having marine parks with no take zones to focusing on banning the catching of specific species. This doesn't make sence as fishing techniques such as trawling produces alot of bycatch and leaves the sea bed looking like a ploughed field, for example juvenile Dublin Bay Prawns or Nephrops norvegicus are blinded when brought to the surface.

The only sensible way forward is to have "designated no take zones" where populations of shellfish and fish are allowed to breed and develop naturally. We should monitor these areas and we could even use a rotation system and put areas of the seabed to fallow, which I belive has worked well when used for fisheries around the world.
