Gillnet fishing is being phased out in the Great Barrier Reef by 2027 to protect dugongs, dolphins and turtles.
Late last year the Queensland government announced a plan to extend restrictions to the Gulf of Carpentaria Commercial fishers say their livelihoods will be destroyed and Australia will be forced to import fish.
Landline's Halina Baczkowski reports from Karumba.

Sarcasm, Thankyou Aus Gov. So pleased that you have committed to UNESCO . Headquarters of UNESCO in PARIS (FRANCE) how are they going at the moment????

80% of seafood caught in Australia is exported, keeping the price of fish way too high. They should start by buying back any licence to operators exporting fish and see where the dust settles. How can fish cost more than land animals to buy when there is no cost in growing the animals. The system is broken

@kyesmithson7669 Месяц назад

The fishermen get paid very low prices it’s the middle men who make the money by jacking up the proces

We can’t even buy fresh prawns or fish up here in the gulf that is local and fresh. It’s all frozen.

$30 million annually from gill-netting with a population of 487(2021 census) and a cut to that will cripple the town? Just saying..

You'll be able to get farmed barra from Indonesia and Thailand way cheaper than that, mate.

Hi everyone, thanks for all your comments on this story. While we welcome a vigorous debate, we ask you to respect the views of others and treat them with courtesy.

Anyone wanting to protect dugong should stand firmly against so called cultural hunting and the illegal but widespread trade in dugong meat.

@coevicman3685 2 месяца назад

What a lot of BS. Gill netting has been done world wide for centuries!!!!! And still there are fish. These Corporation gubberments dont want any fishing or agriculture.... you will eat bugs according to WEF.

@Voodoo_reptiles_australia 2 месяца назад

They want fishing done by big multinational companies not small businesses.

@mikebarton Месяц назад

Commercial fishing is pretty much *unsustainable* in any case. We really have no understanding of how many fish are out there!

@mytype4271 2 месяца назад

barramundi and chips in Brisbane will probably be fifty bucks in 2028

@danvanmuizenberg6650 2 месяца назад

It’s probably possible for fishermen to use better methods to keep the industry alive, the same could be said for lots of fisheries in the west, crayfishers are doing a cracking job, rec fishers are seeing better stock and overall the bycatch is negligible, it takes a lot of work to find the right balance but it must be possible.

@dannysoria6143 2 месяца назад

im a rec fisher so this is ok for me theres plenty of other jobs out there it sucks but it is what it is i perfer line fishing i think itss much more sustainable

@stevenmckechnie4380 2 месяца назад

My thoughts are with you all up there on the west coast of Queensland and Karumba.

@saltwatersolutions254 2 месяца назад

Amazing work there for all involved.

@nigelmorgan3449 2 месяца назад

Simon miller who pays your salary each month by you doing your best to shut down the fishing industry How about you and your activists mates help and pay there house payments and any money left pay there childcare and school fees

@xuejiaoxu6778 2 месяца назад

These conservation activities won't be happy till everyone is shut down from fishing.

@epicgamer785 2 месяца назад

the fishing is going to get so much better now gill nets are banned

@nigelmorgan3449 2 месяца назад

It’s a shame ya brain is stuck to your feet People that enjoy fish but can’t catch it how are they going to enjoy Australian wild fish. Never thought of them They can eat that pond shit from Asia

@peaceleader7315 2 месяца назад

Replace it with barramundi and mud crab 🦀 farming government could fund the initiatives.. too easy.

@johnjennings7095 2 месяца назад

Its all about leaving more fish for our Chinese and Indonesian comrade's

@keairasalmaso5127 2 месяца назад

Nothing to do with that and everything to do with the fact it destroys everything in its path there was gillneters pumping in the logan river and ever since they have stopped has been 100 times more sea life in the river

@breakingbud2530 2 месяца назад

Take quiet a while to catch a ton of barramundi by line 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@gregharding7329 2 месяца назад

Did you not watch the program. The river fishers tend their nets till they pull them in, The ocean fishers only target fish in the first few metres of water. They do not trawl the bottom.

@zachwybrow638 2 месяца назад

They literally just showed that it doesn't 🤣 depends on how it's done and on what scale mate

@sethwright4709 2 месяца назад

You obviously have zero first hand knowledge of how commercial netting works.

@robertevans2181 2 месяца назад

You'll still let China fish in restricted zones through

@kodereidy9003 2 месяца назад

Can't wait till pro's Start line fishing so then they can say line fishing isn't sustainable. Then they can ban line fishing. Now won't that be funny when the amateurs can't fish

@bradcandicegreenhalgh7083 2 месяца назад

I’m a seventh generation fisherman none of you have any clue what gillnetting is about you hate it because that’s what’s your told to do there’s are reason why I still catch fish because the methods are sustainable it’s about taking our right to feed ourselves away and selling the fishing rights to the highest overseas bidder unless you come from a long line of fishing you have no idea the government don’t even know when they sell our fishing rights they won’t fish it sustainably like us they’ll fish it out

@jugg4649 2 месяца назад

Good

@nathanlam9884 2 месяца назад

We need to stop netting in Australia. As an Australian we are sick of it destroying the waterways overfishing and selling most fish overseas.

@nigelmorgan3449 2 месяца назад

The pros catch wild fish for export but also to feed people that are unable to fish but still enjoy our wild fish. Why should they be forced to eat that pond shit that is imported from Asia. Everybody has a right to earn a living some people are on the dole some people wash cars and there’s people that fish for a living

@zachwybrow638 2 месяца назад

More than 80% sold to our domestic market mate. Stop spreading utter bs

@sethwright4709 2 месяца назад

These small boats are doing all they can to create a sustainable fishery. Leave them alone and go sort out the big asian factory trawlers

@kerrynweier8824 Месяц назад

No they aren’t. I’ll be glad to visit next year and not have the gill nets here. Locals also say they are one of many that kill the big crocs to keep them away from the nets.

@barbaraBurns-jh3vz 2 месяца назад

If we go back to fishing by line let us also go back to farming all our vegetables with horse drawn ploughs. Are the people who are suggesting this ban prepared to pay the same increased price for vegetables as the vast majority (sorry vegans) of fish eaters will have to pay for their food. This hasn't been thought out rationally by the do gooders. The local community also needs the fishing industry and all the other associated jobs.

@kerrynweier8824 Месяц назад

I bet most of these fish get sent overseas. Can’t even buy it here
