Bill: Long Term Fisheries Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Labour Union
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2129
Description[?]:
| The DLU note with concern commercial fishing stocks are not subject to regulation. We completely respect the fishing industry’s right to carry out their daily work, but feel unless there are some method of ensuring the long term prosperity of fishing stocks, Jakania will not have much of a future industry to speak about. This bill aims to balance the needs between industry and the environment and thus we propose the following: |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Commercial fishing regulation.
Old value:: There are no limits on the amount of fish that may be caught.
Current: There are no limits on the amount of fish that may be caught.
Proposed: The government establishes fishing quotas.

| Message | The JLSP agrees. A sustainable industry and economy is in everyone's best interest. We can't afford to lose vital industries, especially in a coastal nation such as Jakania, ten years down the line because of greed or mismanagement today. |

| Message | With respect to the JCP’s position, if that were indeed the case then we would not be using fossil fuels or other non-sustainable fuels at the alarming rate we do. Unfortunately the historical behaviour of company’s in this regard stands against them. |
