Stricter fishing quotas are intended to prevent overfishing and protect marine biodiversity. Supporters see it as critical for environmental conservation. However, opponents, particularly from communities reliant on fishing, argue it could negatively impact livelihoods.
@9NN42LJ11mos11MO
Yes, & national fishing rights should be placed before international Fishing rights within a countries waters.
@9ZVZV4G5mos5MO
It depends on the species being targeted and the methods that are being used for the fishing. Quotas help to protect specie population and environmentally better methods ensure that fishing does not destroy habitat or other fish species.
@9ZTV49T5mos5MO
Yes, and fishing should be done on more local level with foreign vessels banned from fishing outside of their national waters
@9ZT3FBC5mos5MO
No. Irish vessels should be allowed larger quotas when fishing in Irish waters. Forgein vessels should be restricted by smaller quoatas in Irish waters. This is to allow priority for native vessels and regulate ovger-fishing from foreign vessels and EU quotas.
Yes, quotas should be stricter but only when fishing in the waters of another member state so to protect the interests of native fisheries in each member state.
Each country should have control over its own seas
No, but more action has to be taken to ensure each country has a fair claim and overfishing caused by outside actors should be swiftly punished
@9ZH8PJLIndependent6mos6MO
Irish fishermen only to be allowed fish in Irish waters.
@9ZH47J46mos6MO
Yes, but only for large scale corporations and foreign investors that could overfish our waters.
@9ZG2LR36mos6MO
for commercial fishing, or foreign fishing companies local owners who have learned it through generations shouldn’t have to be affected
@9ZDW5P96mos6MO
If there’s a way to have like a cut of period for fishing like hunting and Enforce stricter laws where people aren’t supposed to fish in those areas
@9ZCZ72T6mos6MO
Yes there should be limitations but not a lot as we're an island it's not a huge consumption of fish so it's not too important either.
@9ZCKKP76mos6MO
Yes but on non Irish fishing companies. The quota shouldn’t apply to Irish fishers
@9ZBVG4D6mos6MO
No, the government should impose our own limitations on fishing quotas to better suit our country
@9YMW3Q26mos6MO
Yes, however only for corporations and foreign investors whom are overfishing our waters.
@9MQC9NH 12mos12MO
They should stop other countries fishing around Ireland.
@9MKLQYL12mos12MO
Yes, but native Irish fishing industry should be exempt.
Yes, but not at the cost of cultural ways of living.
@9NP3QBS11mos11MO
Yes, large trawlers catching huge amounts of fish should be banned outright. Small fishing boats should continue, so small fishermen are not taking a disproportionate amount of the responsibility
@9VB4XCH7mos7MO
Yes and provide fishermen with incentives to repopulate fish stocks
@9SWMJY6Independent8mos8MO
Ireland in particular needs to develop it's Navy and impose stricter conditions on the E.U. to prevent foreign fishermen depleting our own waters at the detriment to our own local fishing economies.
@9SD9V9D9mos9MO
Yes, but only if the government also subsidises vocational training and educational opportunities so that those in communities that rely on fishing can remain economically viable.
