Not reporting catch, under sized fish and by catch. I am sure you can think of the things they do that's bad.

Hardly. There's physical evidence of wrong doing. As opposed to the shopping list for crims

i would disagree, who watches the cameras recording hundreds of hours of it per vessel per trip.Most vessels have cameras anyway under their h&s protocols, the rat bags are slowly but surely being edged out
There is far more recording and monitoring going on than you would know.
Actually i would prefer it if cameras and live streaming via satphone were implemented as it would keep me busy selling / fitting / servicing it but the operating costs would mean no small independent fishermen any more

Yeah that would be an issue. I'd like Gps tracking too.

I suppose that I am just annoyed with the fact that there appears to be very little over sight but a lot of Lee way.

Seems to be very little political will to do anything about anything.

Um all commercial vessels by the end of the year will be monitored (tracked) in real time by MPI. The vessel owners are to provide "MPI Certified" equipment on-board at their cost to allow MPI monitoring. MPI set the tracking interval. Should a unit not be operational the vessel cannot sail, fails during the trip and back to port you go and MPI will be waiting when you berth.
