My brother has a very stressful job. His main form of relaxation is going fishing. I can't begin to imagine how badly this would affect his quality of life.

Recreational fishing has been my families way of life for generations, still currently fishing both on shore and offshore of Sydney, the North Coast and the South Coast. Blocking out recreational fishing is not the answer to conservation of the fish species and the environment.
Stop the Long Liners from depleting our seas and their horrific waste of bycatch and non target species along with targeting cleaning up our oceans would be far more beneficial to the future of the oceans conditions.

You will be taking away an activity that many children are actively involved and love participating in.

I love fishing. I am very conservation aware and practice catch and release with the odd table fish taken. Fishing is part of the Australian way of life and goes hand in hand with camping and family holidays. Please do not deny my children and their children the opertunity to enjoy this fantastic outdoor experience. More closures will totally destoy the livelyhoods of many in areas such as Fraser Island and Yamba. Removal of beach netters may be helpful. MAKE NO MISTAKE I FISH and I VOTE.

IF THIS POSAL GOES THROUGHT IT WOULD DESTROY MY CAREER AS A BOAT BUILDER, I BUILD BOATS FOR A LIVING FOR THE RECERATIONAL FISHING, IF THEY CAN'T FISH IN THESE AREAS THEY WON'T BUY A BOAT. MARINE INDUSTRY EMPLOYS MANY WORKERS AND BRINGS A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE COUNTRY. PLUS I HAVE BEEN FISHING IN THESE AREAS FOR A LONG TIME...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME...

i object strongly to the closure of long term accessible fishing areas and the creation of green zones and marine parks without suitable replacement of accessible fishing areas or undisputable scientific proof by independent experts that the complete closure of traditional fishing areas is the best policy - i have no objection to short term seasonal closure of fish breeding areas etc -or to the closure and complete banning of netting off beaches or in esturies

Definately agree that we need to have a closer look a policies governing current urban planning development and the mentioned 'outdated' farming practices before the gov opts for the quik-fix solution of restricting the recreational angler without sufficient scientific proof that this is the major cause of fish stock decline.

Why are you seeking the approval of overseas groups to the disenfranchising of your own people. They are the ones who have raped the world and now have suddenly got a conscious. I am a fisherman and am interested in conservation but am sick of the politics being demonstrated. IE. We are only taking 13% of the area but it turns out you are taking 60% of the fish-able area. You talk about artificial reefs but take forever to do something......more consultation with the people who really matter

Recreational fishers care about their fishing environment too however the behaviour of the Government in failing to use science as a basis for decision making, instead choosing to pander to extremest lobby groups, is non-democratic and completely unacceptable to the Australian fishing community.

I Travel to Queensland bi=annually to fish last trip was 4 weeks at Straddie ...Injected thousands of dollars into that economy , Air fares, car hire..Accomodation,,meals,, tourist gifts,, bait fishing tackle, Fuel .. i am but one ..but there are thousands like me... Do the math ...Recreational fishing is good for the Economy ..Especially smaller communities ie Straddie ... (And Mallacoota in Victoria)

I myself would spend over 10 thousand dollars a year on fishing related goods and services.Between fuel for the boat,bait and tackle,mechanical etc, a lot of mony gets spent in the local buisnesses.Many fishers spend this and more money each year.If you ban fishing in these areas how many local buissneses will have to close there doors and join the dole line.This is not acceptable .LEAVE OUR FISHING AND BUISSNESS ALONE.

mr Justin Guest, lennox head, nsw, Australia

Increased fishing pressure on fish stocks in those areas adjacent to the proposed green zones will be detrimental to areas where fishing is still allowed. A better outcome could be achieved through better fisheries management. The science already shows very limited movement of demersal species out of green zones and hence low repopulation of adjacent waters from green zones. Please don't alienate conservation minded fishers from the conservation process.

Rely on Australian researchers and experts NOT overseas 'experts'. Scientifically prove statements about sustainability by Australian scientists before making sweeping generalisations. Don't believe everything you are told or read in the newspaper as truth. If you haven't owned a boat and fished for ten years you have no credibility; everything you know you have read or have been told second hand; you have experienced NOTHING first hand.

In the grips of the gfc i cant beleive the government wants more people to lose their jobs and create more overseas imports of seafood.
Not just the pro fishos but everyone affiliated with the marine industry down to the mom and pop corner fish shop/bait and tackle store.
Marine chandleres, boat salespeople,mechanics,charter operators,tourism, realestate agents and the locals who moved here for the way of life and access to beautifull seafood and waterways just to name a few. Vote liberal!
