Fisheries Minister Norman Moore today described green groups calling for the closure of Western Australia's rock lobster industry as irresponsible and ignorant. Mr Moore was responding to a joint press release issued by the Conservation Council and the WA Wilderness Society which claimed the lobster fishery, valued at up to $400million a year, had collapsed and should be immediately closed. The conservation groups' criticisms followed the release of the latest figures from the Department of Fisheries which showed a slight improvement in puerulus (juvenile lobsters) numbers. "Here are two significant environmental groups - the Conservation Council and the Wilderness Society - saying we should close the State's commercial rock lobster fishery tomorrow," the Minister said. "This demand simply highlights a serious disregard for the livelihoods of workers in a very important industry; ignorance about how the puerulus figures relate to the fishery's current state; and a simplistic approach to management, at odds with scientific rigour.
