(Actions are at the end of this email!) The biggest NSW marine sanctuary plan ever was launched on 4th December 2008 by NPA. If implemented this will help gain the world's best protection for NSW oceans. More marine protection The aim of this campaign is to gain marine sanctuary status for 20% of NSW oceans reaching from Tweed Heads in the north to Cape Howe in the south. These sanctuaries will give our NSW oceans protection for the future. These fully protected areas will help to boost the numbers, size and productivity of our fish, help protect our critically endangered species and provide valuable tourism and economic benefits. If implemented they will help ensure we can all continue to enjoy our oceans for generations to come. Successes to date! In the last week NPA has received extensive TV, radio, print and online media. We have had a number of MPs, groups and supporters show their support. Our first council came on board on Monday and we’ll be working hard in the coming weeks to ensure we continue to work towards a commitment from the NSW Government to building the proposed network of protection for our oceans.

BIGFISH Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Its important that all fisherman + familes voice an opinion otherwise the minority groups such as the NPA will walk all over us. The interview I heard on the ABC radio earlier this week gave me a real chill. Keep supporting the cause BIG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
