  5. Dear all, This is one of those rare occasions where shooters have had the protectionists on the back foot. BUT THEY ARE FIGHTING BACK - and we are losing ground due to the weight of their numbers. If you haven’t already done so please click the web-link below and vote NO. http://www.nimtf.org/ This weekend please email as many people as you can to ask them to visit the Marine Task Force website and vote NO. Please also post threads on shooting or angling forums you are members of, if they haven’t had this topic covered. Next week, BASC and Countryside Alliance are scheduled to give evidence to the NI Environment Committee about our concerns and this web poll will be referred to so it is crucial that the vote remains firmly in our favour. BASC's website has been updated today, but it will be your support by spreading the word on email and on forums that will make the difference in keeping the NO vote ahead. The following are my personal comments (but feel free to use the text in your emails to your contacts): The Marine Task Force consists of RSPB, Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts and others. Put simply they want legal powers to be put in place in NI to ban shooting and angling in every estuary, river and lake in Northern Ireland. Their web poll was meant to show widespread support for the content of a draft Marine Bill that they heavily influenced. Two weeks ago support was running at 97% until BASC and Countryside Alliance started to campaign for a NO vote. Support collapsed and the marine force partners were in shock. They called a meeting with BASC and Countryside Alliance. They wanted us to drop our campaign for a NO vote on their web poll. We asked them to support our amendments to the draft Marine Bill. They refused. So we said we weren’t dropping our joint campaign. Then the vote YES campaign started. Ulster Wildlife Trust is encouraging voters to bypass this and register multiple votes via other computers, mobile phones and other internet accessible devices. The world has changed. The UK protectionist organisations do not have the government support they used to have. But we have to make our voice heard. Looking at the big picture this may appear to be a small battle, but if we win it, it will motivate further battles and more wins. Please do please email as many people as you can to ask them to visit the Marine Task Force website and vote NO. Please also post threads on shooting or angling forums you are members of, if they haven’t had this topic covered.
