Same 'ol story.. I think we should just put Iceland in charge of all sea areas. [at least they are not dragging the bottom, i.e the sea floor for shellfish, and destroying the sea floor like in the UK... pb] Environmentalists argue DFO violating regulations by allowing trawlers to fish canadaeast.com ALISON AULD HALIFAX (CP) - Environmentalists launched an unusual legal review Monday, arguing that the federal Fisheries Department is violating its own legislation by allowing draggers to haul their nets through rich fishing grounds off Nova Scotia. Lawyers for the Sierra Legal Defence Fund and the Ecology Action Centre contend that regulations in the federal Fisheries Act prevent the destruction of marine habitats by certain activities. And they argue that these activities include trawling, one of the region's most widespread forms of fishing in which boats haul large nets along the bottom of the ocean floor scooping up fish and other marine life in their wake. "We're saying that when DFO gives a licence to a dragger it's basically facilitating the destruction of fish habitat," Mark Butler of the Ecology Action Centre, said outside Federal Court.
