unfair fishing fees

TO: THE HONOURABLE MR NORMAN MOORE - MINISTER FOR FISHERIES AND MINING IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA

INTRODUCTING A FEE FOR ALL FISHERMAN IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA FOR THE FOLLOWING:  West Coast demersal fishing licence from boats $150 per year, $20 for 1 day, $60 for 14 days. Other licence fees increased to $45 each. Umbrella licence removed.  50% discounts for Pensioners and Children under 16.  Children under 16 fishing with a licenced fisher don't need a Rec boat fishing licence if using part of the licenced person's daily bag limit. 

Isnt there a better alternative to this, for example:

Putting Dhufish size from 500mm to 700mm, have a closed season when it is the Dhufish breeding season.

Reduce fees as a year round one off fee, lower to be more in line with the east coast.

along with the 50% discount for pensioners.

Alternatively every couple of years have a closure all together on the Dhufish breeding stock.

Also,  have a log book system to keep an eye on stocks.

If fisherman work together with the fisheries department it would work.

Also lowering the bag limit.
