So, lets understand how mismanagement of the snoek run & the langanas have affected line fishers & crew financially. Yesterday, snoek was selling at R140 a fish (quayside). Due to the chaos and risk faced by Langanas, they dropped the price to R70 a fish today! 2/ @JamesRLorimer

2/ This means a halving of income for the vessel owner despite costs and risks having remained the same. The average crewman on a line fish boat had his income halved as a result from ±R3,000 per day to R1,500 as a consequence. 3/

3/ These are the consequences politicians like @BarbaraCreecy_ and bureaucrats at DEFF simply dont understand and appreciate. They will not have their salaries cut at the end of April or have to do with a massively reduced income stream.
