Oh boy could i rant on this one... What a load of crap. Pros will be loving the outcome. That is all i'll say on this matter, they always say, If you can't say anything nice... don't say anything at all.

I wonder how the conversation went... If you exclude us from 2 new zones, let us rape the zone that has always been been off limits. oh ok deal!!!! Just ban all 3 zones and be done with it!! The pro's have screwed themselves, by over fishing from previous years and are now crying as there are no fish and cant make a 'living'! How serious are they about 'preserving the fish stocks for our grandchildren to catch one day'. Not that serious by the sounds of it.

Its the first step in a long line of changes coming in the new year and just getting Pirsa to realise that there is a problem and they cant sit on their hands and everything will be ok is a milestone(well actually they didnt realise it but the minister has)Because of the timing wholesale changes that are needed couldnt happen but rest assured they will happen and even a significant number of commercials are on board many of which are generational fishers who would like to stay in the game,PIRSA are at fault here allowing the indiscriminate slaughter by not introducing a TAC which has been call

Something needed to be done, and unfortunately the lag in the internal processes made it take this long. Opening up the previously restricted zones is weak imo. Let's take it bloody seriously and let the stocks recover instead of doing some musical chairs swaps of spots. If anyone followed the management of the prawn industry, where the fishery was closed entirely for a period before resuming, the stocks bounced back well But still got hit hard by the reopening. Snapper will take longer, and without further amendment we'll end up in the same place we are now once
