The Department of Fisheries are conducting an independent review on how state fisheries should be managed with submissions closing on 30 October 2014.

Everyone with an interest in Queensland’s fisheries, be that recreational, commercial, indigenous, environmental or tourist-based, is encouraged to provide feedback.

The Kooringal Landholders Association will be submitting feedback on behalf of residents. We are deeply concerned about the depletion of fish species in the waters between the Little Sandhills and the Rous Channel resulting from commercial net fishing.

If you care about our pristine waters and believe that recreational fishing is a pastime that should be enjoyed for generations to come, please sign this petition to stop the commercial netting of fish in Days Gutter.

We, the undersigned, call on the QLD Government to amend legislation to cease current commercial net fishing practices in the Moreton Island waters between the Rous Channel and the Little Sandhills.

The Stop Net Fishing Between the Rous Channel and the Little Sandhills petition to Department of Fisheries was written by Kooringal Landholders Association and is in the category Government at GoPetition.
