Restricted Access Zone 1 (RAZ-1), Far West Coast Marine Park (South Australia)
What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Restricted Access Zone 1 (RAZ-1), Far West Coast Marine Park (South Australia).
Restricted access zone of the Far West Coast Marine Park under the Marine Parks Act 2007 (SA). Except as the regulations otherwise allow, a person must not enter or remain in, or engage in any activity in, a restricted access zone (Marine Parks (Zoning) Regulations 2012 reg 9(3)(c), expiation fee $750), so spearfishing — and simply being in the water — are offences here. This zone is seasonal: the park's own zoning-coordinates document states "Restricted Access Zone 1 is active from 1 November to 30 April inclusive." For the rest of the year the same waters lie inside Restricted Access Zone 2 (active 1 May to 31 October), so in practice the area is closed year-round.
