The NEW Great Sandy Marine Park Zoning Plan commences TODAY The 21st of May 2024.
It has taken 18 years to "correct" the Great Sand Marine Park and REMOVE the "anomaly" that was the Red Cross-hatched Great Sandy Designated Area. This has only been possible due to the overwhelming community support!
FROM TODAY Large mesh gill nets and ring nets ( previously operating under N1 and N2 fishery symbols) will be PROHIBITED from ALL the Conservation Park (YELLOW) Zones in Baffle Creek, Elliott River, Burrum River system, the Great Sandy Strait and Tin Can Inlet, which will greatly assist in re-building local fish stocks and support the region’s nature-based lifestyle and recreational tourism sectors.
You can view more details on the NEW Zoning plan via the link below:-
We are waiting on more details for THE NEW waypoints for the New Zoning Plan and will post them once available.
The Fraser Coast Fishing Alliance ( FCFA ) THANKS EVERYONE who has supported this cause and campaign with more than 30,000+ signatures calling for the red-cross hatching to be removed - And it has!
Thanks
