Fishing companies give up southern Indian Ocean trawling - 6 July 2006
In what is being described as a world first, four major fishing companies have agreed to stop high seas deepwater trawling in the southern Indian Ocean west of Australia, in order to protect fish and corals.
Perth-based Austral Fisheries says it is surrendering millions of dollars worth of fish each year as a result of its decision to take part in the voluntary closure.

Austral Fisheries general manager Martin Exel says it is a world first.

The Scene of the crime
- After weeks of flawless sunshine, it resumed bucketing (biblical winds, surfers hanging ten in bird baths, etc.) the night before the repeated last day of my Open Water Course.
