The Minister for Primary Industries Katrina Hodgkinson has announced that community views are being sought on recreational fishing in marine parks on beaches and headlands. The NSW Government previously introduced an amnesty allowing line fishing from ocean beaches and headlands in sanctuary zones, and a formal assessment will now be undertaken.

An online survey is underway to capture your views on beaches and headlands in marine parks, particularly information about social and economic values.

Start the survey. http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/info/marinereform/online-survey

The survey should take around 5 minutes to answer and will be open until 18 August 2013.
