The work of the North Western Waters Regional Advisory Council is progressing smoothly as the NWWRAC moves into its second year of operation.
The North Western Waters RAC is due to finish the first year of work in September 2006. If the pace of the first year is anything to go by the NWWRAC members have their work set out for them for 2006/2007.
The North Western Waters RAC Executive Committee met on the 27th of June 2006 in Galway to debate and discuss issues such as the cod recovery programme, reintroduction of tuna drift-netting, technical conservation measures and the deepwater gillnet ban.
