Have your say on proposed changes to fishing rules
Anglers are asked to provide feedback on options to change a range of recreational fishing rules in NSW, including bag limits, size limits and fishing methods.

Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Director Recreational & Indigenous Fisheries, Peter Turnell, said a discussion paper has now been released for public exhibition.

“Anyone with an interest in our aquatic resources now has the opportunity to comment on options for changes to current fishing rules,” Mr Turnell said.

“The options in this paper have been developed based on community feedback made to the NSW Government since the last review of fishing rules completed in 2007, the latest information relating to our fish stocks, as well as advice from expert anglers.

“The periodic review of fishing rules is essential to ensure our fisheries are harvested at sustainable levels and make sure the rules are easy to understand.”

Discussion papers and submission forms are widely available at most bait and tackle shops and fisheries offices throughout NSW. Copies of the paper can also be found at http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/recreational/info/review .

“Given the popularity of recreational fishing, it is important that we get feedback from as many individuals and groups as possible before making any decisions on changes to recreational fishing rules” Mr Turnell said.

“It is easy to make a submission on the various options via the online submission form or by post, email or fax.”
Submissions to the discussion paper close on 31 July 2013.

Cleaning up Lake Macquarie
Lake Macquarie is in safe hands under the care of a local Aboriginal group employed to clean up marine debris.

Marine debris, plastics and other litter have been identified as a major threat to the health of Lake Macquarie and can injure or kill marine life such as turtles, fish and shore birds.

To address this problem, Aboriginal workers employed by Bahtabah Local Aboriginal Land Council with funding from the Hunter-Central Rivers Catchment Management Authority (CMA) and Lake Macquarie City Council have been employed to remove harmful marine debris from the foreshores of Lake Macquarie.

Bahtabah Land Council’s Toby Whaleboats said “the removal of many kilograms of this harmful marine debris not only improves the look of this beautiful waterway, it also helps reduce the number of injuries or deaths to marine life and also helps encourage the regeneration of the local plant life.”

“These workers also see the importance of sharing their story with visitors to the area and have developed a flyer about the program to give to those who approach them” said Toby.”

CMA’s Catchment Officer - Coast and Marine Hayley Leczkowski said “the workers are also trained to survey and record what they collect by completing data sheets developed by Tangaroa Blue, a registered charity focused on the health of our marine environment.”  

“The key to a more meaningful and useful litter clean up is to keep data on what is collected  and Tangaroa Blue has devised clear and simple data collection sheets that can be completed by these Aboriginal workers.”

 “The data is then loaded into the Australian Marine Debris Initiative’s database which is used to monitor what is being collected in a particular area and track where it comes from” said Hayley.

This project is funded by the Hunter-Central Rivers Catchment Management Authority’s (CMA) Marine Debris Project with support from Lake Macquarie City Council and Bahtabah Aboriginal Land Council.

Boat Trailer Working Group - discussion report and options paper


There have been numerous complaints to local and state government about boat trailer parking in residential areas.

The issue has been considered by the Maritime Advisory Council which has identified a lack of suitable boat storage infrastructure as a contributing factor to the problem. In August 2012 the Minister for Roads and Ports announced the Government’s Maritime Policy Agenda, which includes a number of initiatives designed to help facilitate an expansion in boat storage capacity, however it will take time for results to be fully realised.

The Minister for Roads and Ports instructed the Office of Boating Safety and Maritime Affairs to establish a Boat Trailer Working Group to further investigate possibilities for better management of boat trailer parking, including consideration of the effectiveness of existing legislative powers available to Councils to manage the issue.

Documents are now available for interested parties to read and comment on.

The documents are at this link.

International agreement on lifejacket wear
Representatives of national boating authorities and organisations from Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand and the United Kingdom agreed on the International Lifejacket Wear Principles, as part of the Marine13 conference held in April in Sydney.

Across these nations, drowning is the most common factor in all fatal boating incidents and four out of five victims were reportedly not wearing a lifejacket at the time.

NSW Office of Boating Safety and Maritime Affairs General Manager Howard Glenn said “The main aim of the principles is to promote lifejacket use and to normalise it by encouraging boating media around the world to show people wearing lifejackets in small boats.

"The single greatest challenge facing the international recreational boating community is getting more people to wear lifejackets," Mr Glenn said.

“Endorsing the principles does not create any obligations, but provides a powerful tool for future work and sets a benchmark for boating safety promotion around the world.”

• Recognise the fundamental role that wearing a lifejacket plays in protecting people on the water.
• Recognise the importance of promoting the use of lifejackets when boating.
• Endeavour to ensure that any publication including brochures, DVD, video and websites will feature all people wearing contemporary lifejackets when in an outside area of a small craft that is underway.
• Recommend to the recreational boating industry that its publications similarly feature all people wearing lifejackets when in an outside area of a small craft that is underway.
• Require on-water education and compliance staff to wear lifejackets whenever they are on the water.
• Use the term “lifejacket” in public information and education.
• Encourage boating safety networks to become “safety partners” by supporting the above principles.

A reminder about fishing access roads being closed
In August 2012 the NSW government started to clear a backlog of applications to convert Crown roads to freehold. This includes many 'paper roads' that could provide important fishing access to the public.

There is no central reference database of such applications to make it possible for anglers to monitor applications which might affect fishing in their districts. In November 2012 the NSW Council of Freshwater Anglers and the Recreational Fishing Alliance of NSW met with the Deputy Premier and requested that a simple online database be established. More than 6 months later that simple request has still not been met.

In the meantime, CFA and RFA volunteers have to monitor daily information received from Fisheries NSW about recent applications and post the information on our Facebook pages at www.facebook.com/NSWCFA and www.facebook.com/RFANSW . In the past month we have posted information on 18 such closures.

We believe we shouldn't have to do this and that it is the responsibility of the NSW government to establish a simple, central online reference database of all relevant applications.

Anglers must monitor their local newspapers (the only place the government is obliged to advertise proposed closures) and our Facebook pages so they find out about closures in their area. If you don’t watch this situation and quickly lodge objections when necessary you could lose valuable access to your favourite places.

What type of lifejacket do you need?

Wondering what the best type of PFD is for your boating and fishing? This video from the Australia New Zealand Safe Boating Education Group is one of a series to encourage increased use of lifejackets when fishing, boating and paddling.

Flathead farce
At the same time as circulating the discussion paper proposing that recreational anglers cut their bag limits of many popular species by half, NSW Fisheries Minister Katrina Hodgkinson reportedly approved on 3 May to allow "unrestricted" commercial fishing for flathead and some other species including school whiting, morwong and perch.

This didn’t become known to recreational anglers until 22 May when the South East Trawl Fishing Industry Association (SETFIA) issued a press release which exposed the Minister’s plans. The South East Trawl Fishing Association said it was "shocked" and "bewildered" by this move, which it also said "jeopardises the sustainability" of the fishery.

The proposal would have meant that state licensed vessels could take unlimited amounts of flathead, while the same fish are regulated and catch limits imposed on NSW recreational anglers along the coastline of NSW, and that limits would remain on Commonwealth commercial fishers in waters outside 3 miles off the NSW coastline.

The SETFIA CEO, Mr Simon Boag explained, "It amazes us that NSW would allow their commercial fishers to take unlimited catches of many species including flathead. To this point Australian fisheries have been the best managed in the world but doing this jeopardises their sustainability in NSW particularly."

Mr Boag added that, "We're disappointed that NSW did not talk about this with the Commonwealth fisheries management authority and, worse, we understand that NSW officials may have misled Commonwealth officials and told them that the NSW government would not introduce unrestricted catches. No agencies from NSW spoke with Commonwealth fishers or SETFIA.".

An immediate storm of protest from recreational and commercial fishers meant that the decision was reversed within a day. Federal Fisheries Minister Joe Ludwig also intervened and sought an explanation.

"I am concerned by any potential impact this decision may have on the commonwealth fishing industry," he said.

"I have been in contact with Minister Hodgkinson this afternoon. I am seeking her assurances that the issue will be resolved quickly to the satisfaction of all parties."

Recreational anglers were not consulted on the proposal, nor was the Minister’s Advisory Council on Recreational Fishing, despite flathead being one of the most popular recreational fishing species in NSW.

The recreational regulations discussion paper being circulated at the moment is already copping a lot of flak. It proposes a cut from 20 to 10 fish for the recreational fishing bag limit for flathead, because the current limit "for many of our popular bread and butter fish species in NSW is excessive and the introduction of more effective limits should be considered". The proposed free-for-all for commercial fishers will destroy confidence amongst anglers that any of the bag limit proposals are necessary, sensible or fair.

Haul nets used to decimate bream in coastal estuaries

This week it was revealed that commercial fishers are netting thousands of black bream in Coila Lake (above) and Brou Lake on the NSW South Coast.

Fishing World’s online newsletter quoted reports from local anglers that the netters have taken between 5000 and 8000 bream…"the crews doing the hauling in Coila took 72 boxes one night, 50 boxes the following night and then a further 80 boxes".

Coila Lake, near Tuross Heads, is a small, fragile, landlocked lake which until recently boasted a population of resident black bream, most of which were large and up to 20 years of age.

Both systems are part of the heavily regulated Batemans Marine Park, which seems to have offered them no protection at all.

There are calls for the affected lakes to be immediately gazetted as Recreational Fishing Havens.

New website for Healthy Waterways
 A Healthy Waterways website has been completed.  It contains information, factsheets, educational materials and links related to the recent Healthy Waterways project.  You can access the website here. 
 

Fostering sustainable practices: Recreational fishers’ knowledge, attitudes, and response to educational resources
Recreational fishing is a major part of Australian culture and many Australians consider recreational to be central to their lives.  We all want to have the opportunity to partake in some good quality fishing experiences.  The problem is that if we all catch and keep fish at a higher rate than they can reproduce the quality of fishing experiences will deteriorate.

Royce Willis, as part of his honours degree in Psychological Science at Southern Cross University, is conducting research aimed at assessing predictors of sustainable recreational fishing.  The information gathered will be used to assess whether there are any patterns between individual differences (such as fishing frequency, age, sex, attitudes towards sustainable fishing, etc.) in fishers.  It is hoped that this will inform fishers and the wider community of recreational fishing’s importance, while highlighting the necessity for sustainable practices to allow for a better quality fishing experience for current and future generations.

If you have a spare 20 minutes, please participate in his survey.  All responses will be completely anonymous. Information about attaining a summary of the research report is available when partaking in the survey.

Keep Australia Fishing releases a music clip

Keep Australia Fishing (KAF), the peak advocacy organisation representing Australia's 5 million recreational fishers, has released a music clip highlighting the importance of angling to families and the community.

The jingle promotes the positive socio-economic benefits of the recreational fishing sector in light of the Federal Government's controversial marine park lockouts, which will see fishing families banned from 1.3 million square kilometres of Australian waters.

KAF managing director Jim Harnwell said: "In these tough economic times, when job security is being eroded and family benefits cut, it is vital that Aussie families continue to have access to sustainable fishing opportunities. Recreational fishing is Australia's number one participation sport and boasts significant social benefits, yet access to our waters is being restricted on a massive scale with little or no justification.

"This little song, and the video clip which accompanies it, is a fun way to help our political leaders realise how important recreational fishing is to the Australian community.

"We obviously don't have the million-dollar advertising and production budgets used by the environment groups to sell their anti-fishing agendas, but our message is clear: recreational fishing is part of life for Aussie families and that is being put at risk by senseless lockout policies.

"The fact is that the Federal Government's marine park plans, if approved by parliament, will result in the biggest angler lockout in history.

"We are extremely concerned that this will mark a tipping point for future access to our marine resources. It is vital that appropriate access to key fisheries be retained so they can be responsibly and sustainably enjoyed by all Australians. To do otherwise is to damage and possibly even destroy our rights to enjoy fishing with our families and friends,” Harnwell said.

The KAF music clip is part of a raft of campaigns highlighting recreational fishing as a sustainable family friendly activity.

KAF, in association with a number of other grassroots angling groups, is staging a public rally on Sunday 2 June, at Torquay Angling Club in Victoria to highlight the access issues that will result if the Federal Government's marine park lockouts proceed.

Hosted by fishing legend Rex Hunt, the rally will feature a speech by Shadow Environment Minister Greg Hunt outlining the Coalition's marine conservation plans in the lead up to the 14 September federal election.

Marine Rescue Ulladulla volunteers celebrate $780,000 investment
Volunteer members of Marine Rescue Ulladulla have celebrated two milestones for their unit with the commissioning of their new $650,000 rescue vessel and the opening of their new $132,000 training centre.

Marine Rescue NSW Commissioner Stacey Tannos and Board member Doug Musker will join dignitaries including Member for Gilmore and Shoalhaven Mayor Joanna Gash and NSW Parliamentary Speaker and South Coast MP Shelley Hancock, along with members of the Ulladulla unit at the event.

Ulladulla 30, which also carries the name Warden II, is a 38 foot long-cabin Steber rapid response vessel capable of travelling up to 30 nautical miles offshore, equipped with state-of-the-art navigation, electronics and communications equipment.

Marine Rescue NSW Commissioner Stacey Tannos said the vessel was a valuable addition to rescue resources on the Illawarra coastline.

“Ulladulla 30 forms an important part of Marine Rescue’s strategic safety net of offshore rescue vessels on our coastal waters,” Commissioner Tannos said.

“This is just one of more than 30 new and refurbished vessels delivered to local units at a cost of $9 million as part of our major fleet upgrade to ensure our volunteers have safe, reliable and modern boats for their vital safety work.”
 
Ulladulla Unit Commander Ken Lambert said Ulladulla 30 was the unit’s first new vessel, replacing its former boat, the Arun class Encounter, which had been retired due to the increasing cost and effort needed to keep it at peak rescue readiness.

“The vessel has already proven its value since its delivery during the peak summer boating season, ensuring our crews have been able to respond swiftly and efficiently to a number of incidents on our local waters,” he said.

The vessel’s name not only reflects its work as a guardian of the region’s boaters but also the southern headland to Ulladulla Harbour, Warden Head, named after the region’s pioneering boat-building brothers David and James Warden. The unit’s original Warden vessel was commissioned in 1989.

The new training centre significantly upgrades volunteer facilities at the Ulladulla base, replacing the unit’s previous cramped training room. The centre is fitted out with electronic training equipment including training computers, a computer-linked smart TV and electronic whiteboard. It will be used for radio and boat crew training for unit volunteers, as well as for public boating licence and radio courses and testing. It also will be available for community use.

Commissioner Tannos acknowledged the vital support of the State Government and the boating community for Marine Rescue’s essential services.

“The financial support we receive from the Government and through boaters’ registration and licence fees provides about 50 per cent of the annual budget we need to provide NSW with world-class marine search and rescue, radio network and safer boating education,” he said.

$340,000 rescue vessel strengthens North Coast safety net


A new $340,000 offshore rescue vessel has been commissioned at Brunswick Heads, boosting the emergency capability of Marine Rescue NSW volunteers on the State’s North Coast.

Commissioner Stacey Tannos said the 9.5 metre Naiad was able to travel up to 15 nautical miles offshore, making it a valuable addition to marine search and rescue resources on the North Coast.
 
“Brunswick 30 forms an important part of Marine Rescue’s strategic safety net of offshore rescue vessels covering the NSW coastline and inland on the Alpine Lakes and the Murray River at Moama,” Commissioner Tannos said.

“This rapid response vessel is one of more than 30 new and refurbished vessels delivered to date at a cost of $9 million as part of our ongoing project to upgrade our rescue fleet through the financial support of the NSW Government and the boating community.

“Brunswick 30 is a significant investment in the safety of local and visiting boaters and also of our volunteers. Built by Yamba Welding and Engineering, it is also an investment in jobs in regional NSW.”

The Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat is powered by twin 250hp Mercury Verado engines and can reach speeds above 40 knots (74 km/h).
 
In 2012, Brunswick unit members assisted 33 people aboard 17 vessels. So far this year, the unit has gone to the aid of another 13 people on nine vessels.

Brunswick Unit Commander Owen Danvers said Brunswick 30 provided the unit’s volunteers with a light-weight, speedy and highly-manoeuvrable vessel.

State of the art electronics installed on MRNSW vessels include Raymarine navigation, Icom marine radios, Furuno Automatic Identification System and FLIR thermal imaging camera, along with advanced first aid equipment including cardiac defibrillator and oxygen.

Commissioner Tannos reminded boaters to always Log On and Off with their local Marine Rescue radio base whenever they were on the water. To find your local base, visit www.marinerescuensw.com.au

Fishing gets the green light in Wallagoot Lake
Fishing is now open in Wallagoot Lake on the South Coast after the Lake was declared to be free from the noxious marine weed Caulerpa taxifolia (Caulerpa).

NSW DPI Aquatic Biosecurity Officer, Ben Rampano, said a fishing closure was put in place in Wallagoot Lake in 2007 shortly after the discovery of Caulerpa in the lake.  

“Caulerpa is listed as a Class 1 Noxious Marine Vegetation in NSW under the Fisheries Management Act 1994 due its potential to grow rapidly, alter marine habitats and affect biodiversity,” Mr Rampano said.

“A fishing closure was established in 2007 to minimise the risk of fragmentation and spread of this highly invasive weed by commercial and recreational fishing activities such as netting. DPI coordinated significant control efforts in the lake including providing funding and resources to treat Caulerpa populations using specialised salt application and hand-removal by technical experts. These control efforts received high level local enthusiasm and support from the Bournda Environmental Education Centre, Bega Valley Shire Council, Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority, and the Office of Environment and Heritage.

“DPI appreciates all of the assistance provided in the control and advisory efforts since 2007, including from local residents and school students that participated in local activities at the Lake. DPI now considers Wallagoot Lake free of Caulerpa after surveys over the last three years failed to detect traces of the weed in the waterway.”

Mr Rampano said the eradication of the weed has allowed the Section 8 Closure in Wallagoot Lake to be revoked.

“Caulerpa has been known to exist in 13 estuaries and lakes in NSW, with most populations unable to be feasibly managed due to the invasive nature and this pest’s ability to re-grow from very small fragments,” Mr Rampano said.

“While this is an excellent result in Wallagoot Lake, I urge the community to remain vigilant and immediately report any suspected sightings of the aquatic pest to DPI. Reports can be made to DPI Aquatic Biosecurity on (02) 4916 3877 or to aquatic.pests@dpi.nsw.gov.au.”

Tuross River fisher caught with illegal nets
Covert surveillance by DPI fisheries officers has uncovered a man illegally using a 68 metre meshing net on the Tuross River.

DPI Acting Director Fisheries Compliance, Patrick Tully, said the Tuross River has been protected from commercial fishing since 2002 when it was declared a recreational fishing haven, a status it shares with 29 other estuaries in NSW, which is designed to provide quality recreational fishing opportunities.

“Last week [late April] fisheries officers conducted covert surveillance of a man on the Tuross River system and will allege they witnessed him setting a meshing net in the water,” Mr Tully said.

“Fisheries officers then recovered the net and interviewed the man in relation to the incident.

“Fisheries officers seized the 68 metre meshing net and a 7.3 metre oyster punt, which was allegedly used to set the net.

“The use of meshing nets in these waters is strictly prohibited.”

The 54-year-old man from the South Coast is expected to be charged with several offences including possessing illegal fishing gear, and the unlawful use of a net.

“If convicted of the offences the man could face fines of up to $44,000 and or 12 months imprisonment, as well as losing his boat,” Mr Tully said.

Recreational fishers are not permitted to use or possess commercial fishing gear in, on or adjacent to any NSW waters.

Anyone who suspects illegal fishing can contact the Fishers Watch phoneline on 1800 043 536 or lodge a report online through the DPI Fisheries NSW website: www.fisheries.nsw.gov.au

 Still no central database of Crown road/fishing access closures
The NSW government has not responded to the NSW CFA's and the RFA's requests that an online reference database be established so that anglers can monitor applications for sale of Crown roads that may affect fishing access. In the meantime, whenever possible, we will list any applications that we become aware of on our Facebook page. Anglers should also closely monitor their local newspapers where these applications for closure will be advertised.

Beware: NSW Maritime's alpine alerts don't work!
Just a heads-up as we get into the dangerous part of the year on alpine lakes: the alpine alerts that anglers and boaters can sign up for at www.maritime.nsw.gov.au/alerts/alert.html DON'T WORK. So if you have been relying on them for alerts for dangerous weather on the higher NSW lakes, think again. They seems to work fine for coastal waters but if you ticked the boxes to select warnings for the Snowy Mountains lakes, you get nothing.

RFA of NSW has been signed up for alerts for over a year and never received a single email warning, despite gale conditions eg on Eucumbene and Jindabyne on numerous occasions in 2012.

The RFA has made a number of complaints to NSW Maritime over the past couple of months and last week they added a notice to the sign-up page saying the alpine alerts are out of action because of technical issues but the sign-up page still allows you to choose to get the alpine alerts along with coastal alerts.

Safe fishing videos for your club website
Over the past few months, working with NSW Council of Freshwater Anglers and NSW DPI, we have given away thousands of the "Fishing Safely in NSW" DVD. We have been sending them out to individual anglers, fishing clubs and community groups. NSW DPI has also been distributing copies to anglers, at fishing workshops and other events. That brings us up to about 22,000 copies that have been handed out in past year.

The DVD covers rockfishing, freshwater fishing and underwater fishing. Any club should feel free to frame the videos in their own websites, just get the code to embed the various from our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/safefishing .
