“I can’t see why they have to shorten the season, because the only people affected, are the law abiding citizens.” So said Liston Davidowitz, a businessman from Hermanus with a love for crayfishing in season, after the total allowable catch and fishing days for the 2014 /15 season was recently announced. For recreational fishermen, the season is reduced to 21 days, compared to 26 days previously. According to Shaheen Moolla, a lawyer specialising in fisheries law and management, the recreational lobster fishery has had its quota slashed by 17% to 69 tons or 21 days of fishing. “There is little doubt that the economic impact of such a curtailment in the recreational fishery will be felt across the coastal Western Cape economy as recreational fishermen decide to not service their boats, purchase new wetsuits, gear and equipment, or confirm holidays in coastal villages from Paternoster to Arniston.”
The reduced quotas could also have a negative impact on local tourism, according to Debbie Fouché, secretary of the Hermanus Angling Club. Fouché said: “Although most of the club’s members are not directly affected by the new restrictions, it could have negative repercussions for locals and holidaymakers wanting to take their boats out to sea. It might not be worth all the effort anymore.” The 2014 /15 crayfish season’s total allowable catch (TAC) was recently announced by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF). “The only aspect still up for discussion is the spread of the fishing days,” Moolla said. “The proposed TAC only serves to confirm the parlous state of our lobster stocks and that the department’s compliance strategies, what ever they are, are not working. “These compliance and management failures are also clearly apparent in the abalone, line fish and other sectors where poaching and irresponsible fishing practices are rapidly on the increase.” ) Article continues on p. 3.
