Hardly Armageddon

Oooh! You certainly got Lobster Lord Geoff Creighton all hot and sweaty, didnt you?

How refreshing it would be to hear someone from the commercial fishing lobby say something like: Closing off one small corner of one small part of the vast Northland coastline is hardly Armageddon for the fishing industry. It will impact us not one jot, and we really support any drive that might boost fish stocks. Lets give it a go and see what happens.

It would give them so much more credibility. Too much to hope for, I guess.
