Letters: Don't listen to the wealthy pressure groups. Our fisheries are carefully managed and well protected

OUR 19-year-old son has just purchased his first fishing boat, having spent the last two years working for my husband, a semi-retired fisherman. It has been his dream to follow the long family tradition, to make a living and to be able to stay on the island of his birth. We are proud and supportive of that aspiration. How dispiriting to read Martha Vaughan’s piece describing the practices used by our son and other inshore fisherman from this area as "poorly managed" and a threat to the ecology
