"Net Free GSV" - Ban commercial netting in Gulf St Vincent
The issue
Garfish, King George whiting and Snapper stocks are being depleted by unsustainable commercial fishing practices such as netting and long-lining.
It is time to stop these practices and restore healthy fish populations to create better recreational fishing and support the many regional towns that rely on recreational fishing tourism to sustain their communities.
