Fishermen on the mid north coast have welcomed the state government’s decision to scrap new zonings in the Solitary Islands Marine Park.
The no go zones introduced in March, expanded conservation areas and banned prawn trawling in the park.

This is a good decision. The marine park policies have been ideologically driven up until this point and the consultation process was a farce. The overseas funded, belief based science that supports these parks needs to be reviewed. It’s about time some balance is being exercised. Hopefully this government can look at the facts surrounding the parks and expose the myths.
