After the long awaited salmon protection act was released in June The sports fishing environment was a buzz with the fact that finally the last true run of salmon will be protected but this is far from the true!
skot
The fisheries minister Svein Ludvigsen released a press report that outlines 13 of the 38 new permits will be placed in protected fjords. In fact he has been sly that he has pushed through his plans before the parliament has fished with the new act. He has granted 38 new permits before parliament has had a chance to finalize the new act. This is an indicator of what he thinks of this new national protection act.
We here at fishbooking see this as a blow for the tourist industry. Parties involved in the sports fishing world have reacted by lunching a press campain that we will lead. Groups such as Norsk lakseelva will have a battle on their hands if they are to stop this almost criminal act. Norway’s hunting and fishing spokes group Norges Jeger- og Fiskerforbund have said that the minister has acted with out thought .Even other members of parliament have called for support from the environment minister to step in and act before the autumn session or it will be to late.
The fishing minister Ludvigsen has stated that he has done nothing wrong. The farming industry has waited far too long for the new permits is his point of view. Fishbooking.com will keep our readers updated on the latest reports form the up coming autumn session of parliament Stay tuned
