Greetings All
On 26th May as Chair of the Narooma Port Committee we appeared before the NSW Legislative Council Standing Committee into Recreational Fishing. Others from Narooma area to appear were Ric Cumming, Dave Clark, John Moore, Richard Tilzey and Ian Smith
The transcript will appear here probably early next week and will make for VERY interesting reading.

IMPORTANT NEWS
In relation to the Commonwealth “Area for further Assessment” (Ie. The Commonwealth extension of the Batemans Marine Park)
There is a meeting of INVITED people from fishing clubs occurring at Tuross Heads Country Club, today Thursday 27th May at 4.30pm. If you desperately want to go, ring and ask Ben Scales on 0448 775003.
This will be with the two DEHWA people who had the last minute meeting on the back of Keith Appleby’s boat on 6th May.
Apparently I was mentioned as coming however these two characters thought my meeting with them in Bermagui was enough.
Points too remember
They will say NOTHING of substance
They will say they will AVOID WHERE POSSIBLE the popular fishing spots.
That COMPENSATION will be avoided as much as possible, apart from those in the commercial fishing industry. Ie Land based businesses etc.
They will NOT INDICATE any areas to be set aside as “No Take” they will NOT TAKE ON BOARD suggestions.
All in all the meeting will be a ‘motherhood’ meeting
As suggested by Ric Cumming I have learnt a new ‘public service’ word … DaD which means “DECIDE and DEFEND”
The DECIDE phase (the ‘draft plan’) will come out early 2011 and will have zonings in place. NO NOTICE will have been taken in relation to OUR concerns.
The DEFEND phase will be to ignore our concerns at the consultation phase. They may give a few areas as a sign of good faith.
To those going to the meeting .. Good luck.
Regards
