FISHERIES CRONULLA RESEARCH CENTRE TO CLOSE.

ECOfishers - the voice of NSW recreational fishers, have been advised today, that the Fisheries Cronulla Research Centreof Excellence will close in Cronulla with scientific staff being deployed to regional areas including Port Stephens.
It is a lot easier for ECOfishers (who are regular visitors to Cronulla) to get to Cronulla than Port Stephens.
And a lot of very angry responses to the proposal that would see the city based rfa and our fishing fees being amalgamated with the Shooters Party Game Council. Fancy letting the Shooters get their oily trigger fingers on our fishing fees! More delusions of grandeur. And they still want to "appoint" their mates to the FAG's (Fishing & Game Council.) Tell 'em they gotta be dreaming!
NSW recreational fishers will elect their representatives to the re-structured ACoRF and old Trusts. And over and above all of that bureaucracy will be a joint committee of NSW recreational and commercial fishers, who will supply advice directly to our Minister. No room for the Shooters there!
