AS previously reported in Fisho, the Solitary Islands Marine Park in northern NSW is currently under review.
Concerned local stakeholders comprising recreational and professional fishers, spearfishers, local clubs and businesses have formed a group to publicly oppose the proposed changes. In a bid to voice opposition to government on the expansion of the SIMP the website www.savesol.com features a quick link to a submission form that can be easily completed and lodged.
Recreational fishos and all opposed to further expansion of the Solitary Islands Marine Park are encouraged to complete submissions as soon as possible. The response so far has been strong with over 500 submissions already lodged.
NSW fishos should standby for a similar submission website for Jervis Bay’s Marine Park to be set up via the Fisho website. Stay tuned.
