INTRODUCING
ECOFISHERS - THE Voice of NSW
Recreational Fishers
You’ve heard our slogan –“Conservation
through sustainable use. Making people part of the solution.”
We fish sustainably and work closely with governments
to achieve sustainable outcomes for the community and
the resource.
ECOfishers is a state-wide, community based family
fishing organisation.We are all recreational fishers
and scientists.ECOfishers refute the extreme Green anti-fishing
“preservation policy” of locking family
fishers out and throwing away the key.Nor do we support
the exclusion of low-impact family recreational fishing,
from government’s so-called “sanctuary zones.”
That is simply an emotive term.
The CSIRO says about sanctuary zones, “Their
potential fisheries benefits are theoretical and have
not been demonstrated in practice!”
So-called sanctuary zones “Are not appropriate
for the vast majority of recreational targeted species.
They are migratory and far too mobile to remain within
any sanctuary zones.”They’ve got tails.
They swim!
ECOfishers recently represented you in the grey nurse
shark court case brought on by the Government funded,
extreme Green Nature Conservation Council.
The Greens are demanding of the NSW Labor Government,
“That up to 50 percent of the State’s marine
waters be locked up in sanctuaries by 2010!”
 ECOfishers
is your lobby group.
We are dedicated to ensuring your family fishing
way of life is not further eroded by the extremists
