I have some concern with part of your answer to my question. You say to that the department is granting priority access to sports fishermen and that it does not want to review its policy. That is clearly your message. However, if the department wants to review its policy, it will have to discuss with all the user groups.
Is the sports fishing industry willing to compromise? That is probably the main issue since there will have to be negotiations with the various user groups. That might be one of the reasons why the department does not want to review the policy.
