Police bag limits properly, narrow the size of stock that can be taken ( not juvenile or breeding stock ) and allow recreational fishers to catch them again. Bullshit decision.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-12-17/ ... /101784940The South Australian government has extended a ban on fishing for snapper in most waters for another three-and-a-half years as the species population continues to struggle.
Key points:
A ban on fishing for snapper in most state waters has been extended until July 2026
A recent report found snapper stocks remain depleted
The state government will spend $8.8 million on fishing sector support and snapper recovery programs
The decision follows the release of a report assessing snapper stock numbers in state waters by the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) last month.
The report found the ban, which was introduced in November 2019, stopped the overall decline in snapper numbers but there was yet to be any evidence of stock recovery in the Spencer Gulf, West Coast and Gulf St Vincent.
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
