In a report scientists revealed that fishing ban is good for reviving sea life as coats of Devon full with stocks after five years of fishing ban. It is said that the lobsters are seven times more abundant within the protected zone than outside. IN UK eastern coats of Lundy is the only “no-take” zone, where fishing is completely prohibited.
According to conservation groups UK seas need more of them but government is not ready to digest this as it has its own Marine Bill promises much vaguer “marine conservation zones”. The bill failed to indicate clearly that what levels of protection these areas would have. The Lundy zone was set up five years ago by Natural England and the Devon Sea Fisheries Committee, which administers fishing along the county’s coasts, in partnership with local fishermen.
Miles Hoskin, the marine biologist engaged by Natural England to lead the research, told that the main result is an increase in the number of large lobsters in the no-take zone compared to areas where fishing is on-going. He added that recently it is found an increase in the number of small lobsters within the zone and adjacent to the zone.
