Government crackdown on boat street

parking – Sam.

This is ridiculous. I am unable to keep my boat

and trailer in my driveway as it is too narrow.

It is parked in front of my place legally. I am a

pensioner and it would be impossible to pay for

the fee to have it stored. I try to get out as often as

I could but this also depends on weather

conditions. What is the difference between

parking my boat or my 4WD in front of my place?

Would they bring in a law to stop you from

parking your car in fron of your place?

  A very thorough article that tells all one needs to
  know regarding catching a trevally at Queenscliff.
  Thanks!

Study reveals snapper catch decline – Wade.

That is when the widespread rampant damage

was done. Sure there is some localised overfishing

in Oz waters today but stock assessments usually

invoke significant regulation change and see these

localised stocks turn around pretty quick. The

relevance those historical papers have now for

Oz is what exactly? Can’t say the same for those

foriegn muppets hammering Pacific tuna stocks in

international waters at the moment however.

Good work all!

Thomas’s terrific luderick! – Robbo

You don'’ see a 50cm luderick very often, let alone

catch one on a lure. Well done for letting it go too.

Conservation groups push for 30% no take

zones – really?

Please explain to me how a marine park no take

zone protects against pollution. if only it were

true, but what rubbish. ... Pollution effects

undermine the base of the food chain and cause

insidious damage to our marine ecosystems, and

these MPAs are powerless to stop it – the problems

have to be dealt with at the source, not by

drawing lines on the water. The revelations about

disease and mortality in oyster larvae due to

reduced pH is a prime case in poin ... They just

disappear from the ecosystem and you have to fix

the underlying problem to fix the damage.

Conservation groups push for 30% no

take zones – SETFIA.

I am from the SE trawl fishing association.

We represent deepwater commercial trawl

fishermen between Barrenjoey and KI

(encompassing Vic and Tas). We’ d love to sign

up to the 30% goal. 87% of the trawl fishery is

closed to trawling due to MPAs and other

closures. Of the remaining 13% only half is

“trawlable” (fishable) meaning we only have

access to about 8%.

Government crackdown on boat street

parking – Wise One.

If a trailer is registered it has a legal right to park

on the road. Will they impound cars that park in

the same street for over 3 months? What if you

park in the same spot (outside your house) and

take the boat out 2 or 3 times a month but the

ranger just sees the same boat parked in the same

place for more than 3 months ...
