Australia and New Zealand will raise with EU officials the issue of two Spanish boats using huge nets, known as gillnets, in waters between the two countries. The governments are concerned the two vessels are using the nets, which have been banned

I think gillnets should be banned, confiscated and destroyed where ever they are found. If we don't halt the destruction of the oceans & its inhabitants we can say goodby to much of life on earth. Such a tragedy!
