Graham, looking at the news release on the AT website, the first measure outlined refers to the funding of three fisheries management advisors. I took that to mean that part of the negotiations had been to secure that funding from the government, albeit that the advisors will be employed by the AT. If they were being funded directly by the AT then I doubt it would have constituted a "new measure". That's how I read it anyway.
You read it one way I another Howard, the fact is it doesn't say who will pay, perhaps someone from the trust will clarify the point?
The "some people baulk" was uncalled for, are we to go back to the days of "you can have an opinion as long as its the same as mine"? I do not think there will be huge reductions in the numbers of these predators despite the work done by the trust, it is my opinion and just as valid as anyone else. (I realise the comment wasn't made by you)
