What do we do
for conservation?
Catch and release
as far as possible, keep what you will consume. Try
not to over-fish the limited number of fish there are available for
fishing. Respect
the fragile environment.
Pollution prevention
is a major factor in conservation, so do not pollute our fishing grounds.
The list below gives you an idea of how long it takes for trash to decompose.
