Riik ei vähenda Pärnumaa kalurite püügivahendeid

The state will not reduce the fishing gear of Pärnu County fishermen

Regionaal- ja põllumajandusminister Hendrik Johannes Terras ütleb, et ministeerium, teadlased ja kalurid arvavad sama. Kalade arv on paljudes kohtades väike.

Küsimus on selles, ilma kalureid liiga palju piiramata. Minister ütleb, et nad on kuulnud palju arvamusi kaluritelt ja teadlastelt. Sellepärast otsustati .

Varem oli plaan vähendata Pärnumaa kalurite . Kalurid olid mures, sest nad on püünistesse raha investeerinud. Nad tahtsid, et riik ostaks nende püügiõigused tagasi.

Nüüd leppisid minister ja kalurid kokku, et kalavarusid tuleb kaitsta teiste meetoditega. Ilma kaladeta ei ole ka kalandust.

Ministeeriumi kalanduspoliitika juhataja Sigmar Suu ütleb, et nad hakkavad kasutama tehnilisi meetmeid. Näiteks keelatakse või suurendatakse .

Kõik leppisid kokku, et uued meetmed tehakse koos kalurite ja teadlastega. Samuti tuleb muuta . See aitab kalade arvu kasvada.

Minister Terras ütleb, et kalandust tuleb muuta. Kalade arv ja liigid on muutunud. Sellepärast tuleb leida uusi viise kalapüügiks.

Sigmar Suu lisab, et võib kasutada näiteks kvoote või aastas. See aitab .

The Minister of Regional Affairs and Agriculture, Hendrik Johannes Terras, says that the ministry, scientists, and fishermen agree on this. The number of fish is low in many places.

The question is how to help the fish population grow without overly restricting fishermen. The minister says they have heard many opinions from fishermen and scientists. Therefore, it was decided not to reduce fishing gear.

Previously, there was a plan to reduce the number of fishing gear for Pärnu County fishermen. Fishermen were concerned because they had invested money in the gear. They wanted the state to buy back their fishing rights.

Now, the minister and fishermen have agreed that fish stocks should be protected by other methods. Without fish, there is no fisheries industry.

The Ministry's fisheries policy manager, Sigmar Suu, says they will start using technical measures. For example, fishing may be banned at certain times or the mesh size of nets may be increased.

Everyone agreed that new measures will be implemented together with fishermen and scientists. In addition, the fishing regulations need to be changed. This will help the fish population grow.

Minister Terras says the fisheries industry needs to change. The number and species of fish have changed. Therefore, new ways of fishing need to be found.

Sigmar Suu adds that, for example, quotas or annual limits on the number of gear can be used. This will help keep the fish population in good condition.
