In these desperate over-harvesting, overfishing times, we need upstanding members of government to ensure the protection of our globe's natural resources. This move to ban shark fishing is light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for taking this decision, it gives me hope for our marine world's future. Let the effects of this ruling be felt as quickly as possible by implementing the legislation to full effect as fast as possible. As a deeply concerned marine biologist this news comes as great relief. Thank you.
