I just had a chat with two of the local Fisheries inspectors (Brisbane area). They advised that there are “no new maps” being produced at the moment, and the proposed maps will be the ones in use as at the 1st of March. They also said EPA has not produced a set of GPS marks to outline the different zones, nor are they able to supply them to the public.
Also on a lighter note, they said they aren’t doing anything extra with regards to patrols and inspections because they do not have GPS marks plotting the edges of the zones, nor have they been given any additional support, both financially or manning, to conduct more patrols.
They were a little pinged off with the whole issue because EPA were running the show, and yet it was up to them to enforce.
So I am looking forward to what happens come the 1st Mar when Captain Bligh and the Good ship Greens plan comes into effect.
