3 of the 4 nets found were anchored and unattended. Not cut loose, not sabotaged.

there is only one way to control this kind of waste and disrespect,,, who ever may be responsible...native or otherwise....
BAN THE USE OF GILL NETS!!
gill nets are non selective harvesting. size, quantity, species ect ect. its what clear cutting is to logging/forestry.
wake up MNR! pull your balls outta your purse and do whats right for the resource!

Treaty rights are a federal issue and im not sure that MNR has any ability to ban the commercial use of gillnets under those rights.

Unless the government is prepared to actually lay charges and actually put people in jail then prosecuting is wasted money. Caledonia pretty well defined this government's attitude about first nations policy. You can pretty well kiss the Nipissing fishery goodbye.
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

This is not a treaty right as I understand it. The commercial fishing was brought in and it should be taken away.
Remember this next time you buy a Pikeral dinner, you are supporting this crap.
Wynne doesn't card about anywhere other than the Golden Horseshoe so this won't be given any priority.
