Conservationists seek gill net ban
Citing two government-sponsored studies,
Ontario's largest provincial conservation
association has renewed its demands for a
complete ban on the use of gill nets by com-
mercial fishermen.
"Gill nets kill virtually everything that
swims into them, not just the fish the com-
mercial fishermen are aiming for", stated
Rick Morgan, Executive Vice President of
the Ontario Federation of Anglers and
Hunters (OFAH). "In addition to thousands
of nontarget fish, gill nets have even been
known to tangle and kill diving ducks and
loons."
Morgan referred to two specific studies as
further evidence of the nonselective
deadliness of gill nets. The Lake Huron
Fisheries Assessment Unit produced figures
which, when presented to the Great Lakes
Fisheries Commission in March, indicated
that commercial netters incidentally killed
126,455 salmon and trout, while fishing for
whitefish, chub, and perch in 1984 and 1985,
on one portion of Lake Huron alone.
Another study conducted for the Ontario
Ministry of Natural Resources in eastern
Lake Ontario showed that gill net fishermen
seeking whitefish are likely to catch three
lake trout for every one whitefish.
In a Letter to Natural Resources Minister,
Vincent Kerrio, OFAH President Jack Craik
has asked, "How long is your government
going to allow this travesty to continue? You
must ban the use of gill nets for commercial
fishing in Ontario."
The 60,000 -member sportsmen's federa-
tion has pointed out that if commercial
fishermen switched to trap nets, most of the
nontarget fish could be released alive to
swim and spawn again. "It's a needless
waste", said Morgan, "a waste we've tried
to have government stop for over a decade.
Both the government and the commercial
fishermen, are to blame."
The OFAH is convinced that governemnts
would take serious, strong action against a
pollution industry that incidentally killed so
many fish, and can't understand why a com-
mercial fishing industry is allowed to get
away with using equipment that virtually
guarantees such kills, while alternate, less
wasteful fishing gear exists.

250 million
celebrate Red
Cross founding
On May 8, 250 million people in 145 coun-
tries celebrate the vision of Henry Dunant, a
young Swiss businessman who founded the
International Committee of the Red Cross
almost 125 years ago.
Dunant was born on May 8, 1828. World
Red Cross and Red Crescent Day has been
celebrated annually on his birthday since
1948.
Every year a different theme is chosen for
World Red Cross/Red Crescent Day. This
year, Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies are
publicizing efforts for the survival and
development of children through the
"CHILD ALIVE" program.
More than ten million children under the
age of five die, or are disabled, every year
from disease. The CHILD ALIVE program
aims to stop childhood deaths from preven-
table disease.
"The role of the 145 national societies, like
The Canadian Red Cross Society, is to in-
form, educate, motivate, and mobilize peo-
ple to set up Red Cross programs, wherever
they're needed," said Andrew Fleming,
President of The Canadian Red Cross Socie-
ty. "Although we celebrate on May 8, very
day is World Red Cross and Red res ent
Day.
