On the 23rd of September 2022, the Queensland Government opened up public submissions for the Great Sandy Straight Marine Park Zoning Plan. This is huge and it affects all of us... Yes, all of us. 

On this show we break down the significance of this zoning plan, we also run through the online submission process, fake news already spread and also why its important to all recreational fishers and those involved in the recreational fishing industry. 

By removing gill netting from this environmentally significant world heritage listed area, it will bring the Sandy Straights in line with every other Marine Park worldwide and will no longer be the only marine park that allows commercial gill netting in a conservation zone. 

Please give this a listen. Here is link to where you can submit your feedback to the decision makers -
