AS part of NSW DPI Fisheries ongoing work to ensure Sydney anglers maintain access to key land-based locations such as the highly popular Walsh Bay piers, they have teamed up with the local precinct managers to provide rubbish bins “wrapped” with responsible fishing signage.
These colourful and innovative signs provide an additional reminder to anglers fishing the piers to do the right thing and keep the area clean and tidy. Additional advisory messaging includes keeping the noise down and respecting other users.
The bins also provide a map to nearby public toilets.
As well as providing important info for anglers fishing these productive piers, the “wrapped” bins are also a great way to show the general public that the vast majority of recreational fishers are responsible and respectful members of the community.
In other Sydney-based angler access news, DPI Fisheries are continuing their work with the team at Roads and Maritime Services to provide additional responsible fishing advisory information and facilities on the Harbour’s ferry commuter wharves. The goal here is to ensure fishing at these key platforms is well managed and enjoyable for all.
