Hi guys,
Did you see/hear about the massive illegal abalone catching bust which was done by the VIC fishery officers? I heard on today (thursday's) news. The Victorian officers raided homes and restaurants to find massive quantities of abalone meat.
Serves them right I'd say, including the restuarants who buy the meat. It's good to see the fishery officers doing something and targeting the commercials poachers not trying to clamp down on the recreational fishers. Hopefully no restaurants would want to buy the meat after this scare and the illegal abalone poaching will become scarce - I know this is wishful thinking <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Let me know what you think,
