Illegal fishing vessel activity
HI Folks
Some of you might have been aware of reports about possible illegal fishing vessel activity ( as per below) along the Wild Coast over the last few years. As the authorities seem to happily take the stance that ‘ if we don’t see it then it aint happening’ I thought it might be useful if us members of the public could help to become ‘eyes and ears’ to try and gauge the extent of the problem.
If any of you are down at the Wild Coast and happen to see/ hear what might be called ‘suspicious fishing vessel activity’ within the Pondoland Protected Marine Zone then please make a note of the time and place, and any other details that you can, and if possible try and get some photos or any other ‘eye witness’ evidence.
You can pass this onto me at swcoastval@gmail.com or PO Box 44, Harding, 4680. Please include your contact details.
Please pass this onto anyone else who might visit the Wild Coast.
warm regards
Val
