Commercial Grey Nurse Shark Closures

[Nete-Quette]

Green Island to Fish Rock corridor and MagicPoint Comercial fishing closure.

[CEO]

            ECOFISHERS (and others) I'll post details of the new distances and prohibitions for our commercial colleagues, just as soon as time permits. 
            I just wonder if local commercial fishing families, like Vince Jordan and Co. of South West Rocks, are entitled to any compensation from the Government, now that their commercil fishing is all share managed. We all certainly hope so!
