so the EA are going to police the river severn better to tackle illegal elver netting,what about the river parrett in somerset?Each year more and more people are buying the ridiculously cheap elver licence(?20) and making 1000s on top of their state benefits,yes some of them are even registered disabled and a lot are unemployed.Some of them are making upwards of ?15000 per spring,then are bone idle for the rest of the year claiming benefits.I think the numbers of licences should be severely restricted and the price increased to ?500.English nature and the EA are encouraging the otter population to increase across britain,yet its main food source is being wiped out,putting fish such as carp and pike on the otters menu instead,this,along with the cormorant population,will,in the long term ,be detrimental to the ecosystem of our rivers.shame on you ,EA and benefit fraudsters.
