WA fishers say the sanctuary zones flagged for a new marine park intended to rival the Great Barrier Reef could spell the end of local commercial fishing.
abc.net.au/news/south-coast-marine-park-wa-fishing-impact/102168012Fishers and residents on Western Australia's south coast say "no-catch" sanctuary zones flagged for a major new marine park could spell the end to commercial fishing in the area.
"There's proposed [sanctuary] zones up and down the coast, from Eucla to Bremer Bay, and they all affect different fisheries. "The date for the final Community Reference Committee meeting was extended by a month to allow for further feedback. "I'm worried about where the sanctuary zones are going to go, worried about access for our recreational fishers, and also very worried about our professional fishermen as well," he said.
