What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Fisherman Islands Special Purpose Scientific Reference Area, Jurien Bay Marine Park (Western Australia).
A special-purpose management area of Jurien Bay Marine Park covering the Fisherman Islands waters between 30°08.260’S and 30°10.447’S, west to 114°56.721’E. Clause 6(1) of the Prohibition on Recreational Fishing (Jurien Bay Marine Park) Order 2005 prohibits all recreational fishing here. Clause 6(2) restores fishing for rock lobster and clause 6(3) restores shore-based, boat-free abalone, line and net fishing. Spearfishing for finfish is in none of those categories and is therefore prohibited. Enforcement is by DPIRD fisheries officers; the northernmost of the park's three scientific reference areas.
