Posted by: nimrod Jan 27 2011, 09:15 PM

Just got a memo from frank sartor's office.

The Marine Parks Authority (MPA) today announced a new and improved zoning plan for Jervis Bay Marine Park has been finalised and will begin on 1 March.

Under the new zoning plan for Jervis Bay Marine Park, ocean based sanctuary zones will be adjusted to better protect intermediate reef habitats. Commercial trawling will no longer occur at Wreck Bay or Crookhaven Bight and lift netting activities will be prohibited in Jervis Bay..

About 80 per cent of the marine park, including key sites such as Middle Ground, Longnose Point, Crocodile Head and Moes Rock, will remain available for recreational fishing.

New zoning plans have also been finalised for Solitary Islands Marine Park, on the State’s North Coast and Lord Howe Island Marine Park.
