Background (Preamble):
VRFish, The Peak Recreational Fishing Body representing all recreational fishers in Victoria, in their press release of Wednesday 14th of July condemns the demand by the Victorian National Parks Association (VNPA) for the creation of 20 new marine parks along the Victorian coastline.
The VNPA report titled Nature Conservation Review: Marine and Coastal Issues Paper places recreational fishing as the key threat to our marine biodiversity, on a par with global warming.
The VNPA are using the outcomes of an international congress1 to further lock out anglers from up to another 20% of our coastline.
