French disquiet at the green/eco 'cacophony' surrounding fishing.

Our Euopean cousins across La Manche are also gripped by the weight of green eco-warrior warmongering on fishing. This French blog that covers fishing and fish farming also cites the degree to which the industry is being pilloried on all fronts - translated.

"That attention to the sea and its fish! More and more communication to better hide the degradation of coastal ecosystems, a few days of the rush to beaches, marinas, campsites and - with its share of pollution - a few days before the announcement of major reforms of the next Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and - with its share of draconian measures prepared by the European Commission. In ever more cacophony, the marine trades are finding it increasingly difficult to exist - placed between two fires, one side, environmental organizations who demand ever more, and other land-based activities , agriculture, tourism, urbanization, pollution - that increasingly, fishermen and shellfish farmers do not even have to say the words days at sea - during International Ocean Week of Fish all fishing are pilloried for discharges at sea."
