The "Great Sandy Designated Area" ( Red Cross-Hatched Yellow Conservation Zone ) - Does NOT exist in ANY other Marine Park in the country !

The Great Sandy Designated Area incorporates areas of conservation park zones in :-

* Baffle Creek & tributaries

* The Elliott River & tributaries

* The Burrum River & tributaries

* The Mary River & tributaries

* The Great Sandy Strait and Tin Can Bay Inlet

This anomaly overturns EVERYTHING a TRUE Yellow Conservation Zones is there to protect !

The commercial sector will boast that it also allows Recreational fishers to use three lines or rods per person with a combined total of six hooks when fishing in this area.

Recreational fishers in TRUE conservation park (Yellow) zones in the Moreton Bay Marine Park are now able to use up to two hand-held rods or handlines per fisher, with no more than two hooks in total for each fisher. There are also six rivers and creeks in the State Great Barrier Reef Coast Marine Park Zoning Plan allow the use of two lines and hooks.

The Fraser Coast Fishing Alliance will be insisting that recreational anglers will be allowed up to two hand-held rods or handlines per fisher, with no more than two hooks in total for each fisher once the Great Sandy Marine Park is "corrected" and the Great Sandy Designated Area is REMOVED !

Please support & sign this petition if you want to STOP Commercial Netting in our Great Sandy Marine Park which INCLUDES :-

* Baffle Creek & tributaries

* The Elliott River & tributaries

* The Burrum River & tributaries

* The Mary River & tributaries

* The Great Sandy Strait and Tin Can Bay Inlet

Then SHARE this Petition with ALL of your contacts , family & friends NOW !

We will NEED ALL the support we can get if "we" are going to see that unrestricted numbers of commercial fishers are fairly compensated and removed from our Great Sandy Marine Park under the current Full Term - 10 Year Review due to be completed in 2018 !
