Seems we may have lost by an eyeblink.
The scaremongering, blatant LIES of the "Save our Passage" group has been enough to turn the tide.
Never EVER will I have the slightest respect for the opinions or actions of right-wing, redneck anti-science lying cretins.
These arseholes have convinced just enough locals that the proposed EPA zonings will somehow
welcome professional fishing back into Pumicestone Passage (?),
that people may not anchor, swim, camp, ski or bloody BREATH in the proposed tiny extension to the Tripcony no-take zone,
that Real Estate values will somehow be negatively impacted by measures designed to ensure MORE fish,
etc etc etc

Talk about royally screwed. !
