Fy ngweledigaeth fel Gweinidog Cyfoeth Naturiol yw sicrhau ein bod yn diogelu ein hadnoddau mewn ffordd gyfrifol a rhesymol, ac yn unol â'n rhwymedigaethau gwarchod; ond hefyd mewn ffordd sy'n galluogi pobl i barhau i ennill bywoliaeth drwy ddefnyddio’r adnoddau hynny'n gynaliadwy, fel y maent wedi gwneud ers cenedlaethau mewn nifer o achosion.  Mae hyn yn arbennig o wir am y pysgodfeydd arfordirol bach sydd gennym yng Nghymru, sy'n pysgota'n benodol am granc a chimychiaid â chewyll, y mae cenedlaethau o deuluoedd wedi ennill bywoliaeth gynaliadwy ohonynt heb fawr ddim effaith ar yr amgylchedd.  Rwyf am ddarparu sylfaen gadarn er mwyn galluogi'r rheini sy'n ennill eu bywoliaeth ar hyn o bryd o weithgarwch pysgota effaith isel o'r fath barhau i wneud hynny.
My vision as Natural Resources Minister is to ensure that we protect our resources responsibly and reasonably, and in accordance with our conservation obligations; but also in a way that allows people to continue to make a living out of the sustainable use of those resources, as they have done for generation in many cases. This is particularly true for the small-scale coastal fisheries that we have in Wales, notably potting for crabs and lobsters from which generations of many families have made a sustainable living with minimal impact on the environment. I want to provide a solid basis for those who currently earn their living from such low-impact fishing to continue to do so.
