Scubalady, while you are at it you might spend a moment wondering why the BTIA aren't spearheading this effort. After all they are supposed to represent Hotels, tour operators etc.
The BTB are a government body so they are hardly likely to criticise another government department. Neither BTIA nor BTB have shown the slightest interest in the recent public debates on Sport fishing licenses or the Dairy products ban, nor have they responded to letters.
So don't expect any support from those directions.
And just in case you think AC is fighting a lone battle, you are not. We have exactly the same problem on the mainland.
