Hi all' date='I am new to this forum but hopefully have something to offer the angling community and something to gain for my research.I have just completed my PhD developing culture protocols for marine baitworms (Flinders University). We can now successfully grow and produce sandworms and have reached the point of planning some market research.Sam[/quote']Welcome to the site Congrats on your phd :)Always wondered if anyone was ever going to attempt to do this sort of research - testingRecently took 2 other members from tha site down to Point Riley collected some seaweed worms and had some success on them out in the bay will be interesting to see how the "clones" stack up against them Is there any other forms of work you are investigating ie tube worms / pipi's etc that you are also testing would certainly be interested to give the worms a test once available Cheers 4THA

Just copied this off the visitors centre page Good luck over there, boy am I jealous would love a trip over there mate smacked some big gt's and macks With the continental shelf only kilometres offshore, fishing and the Ningaloo Reef go hand in hand. There are many opportunities for beach, reef and game fishing in the diverse environment of Ningaloo. Sanctuary zones are special conservation zones where fishing is strictly prohibited but there are many other areas in the Marine Park where the fishing is superb. For information on the Sanctuary Zones, please contact the local Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) office on 9947 8000 or the Department of Fisheries on 9949 2755.Land based fishing is a popular recreational pastime as there are many different species to be caught.

Some of the sought after species are North West Snapper, Blue Bone, Coral Trout and Red Emperor. Ningaloo Reef is also recognised as the premier game fishing destination in Western Australia - it is one of the few places in the world where such famous species as Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Spanish Mackerel and Sailfish are hooked regularly. Every year in March Exmouth hosts the Gamex Tournament which always produces some fantastic - often record breaking - catches (a ”Tag and Release” policy is adhered to).BOAT LAUNCHING FACILITIESExmouth has 3 boat launching areas.

Trial project welcomed by recreational fishersWestern Australia’s peak recreational fishing body Recfishwest has welcomed the State Government’s unveiling today of the first artificial reef project in the south-west region. Recfishwest Chief Executive Officer Dr Andrew Rowland said the $2.38 million initiative to establish the State’s first artificial reef trial on the south-west coast would increase habitat for key fish species. "The Royalties for Regions program funding and $520,000 from recreational licencing revenue has enabled the artificial reefs initiative to come to fruition," Dr Rowland said. "This is a fantastic tangible benefit for recreational fishers who purchase a fishing licence. With the first artificial reefs being located near Bunbury and Quindalup boat ramps, they will be a great resource for small boats to access. "Recfishwest undertook a significant consultation process with local fishers to select the best locations." Dr Rowland said the locations selected for artificial reefs are based on a strict set of environmental parameters such as water currents, depth and bottom type. "Local fishers will be engaged in monitoring programs to determine the effectiveness of the structures and assess the benefits to the community. "If these structures meet their potential, they will benefit the environment and local communities; complement Western Australia’s robust and adaptive fisheries’ management approach; and help ensure fish stocks remain sustainable."Map with artificial reef location here http://www.fish.wa.gov.au/PublishingImages/Media%20Releases/Photos/Artificial_Reef_Site_Assessment_%20Proposed_Sites%20-.pdf Would love to see a few of these dotted along our coast line Cheers 4THA
