The marine conservation group that spearheaded opposition to the controversial Fisheries Amendment Bill is breathing a sigh of relief that it's been delayed. 

Fisheries Minister Shane Jones has revealed the bill won't be passed before the election. 

The Government had already U-turned on a controversial proposal to reduce minimum size limits for commercial fishers, but was planning to push ahead with other changes, like a ban on releasing on-board footage of fishing boats. 

LegaSea Programme Lead Sam Woolford told Mike Hosking he's relieved common sense has prevailed. 

He says the bill was wrong and unworkable.
