Victorian Tuna rally / meeting

On the South West coast where it will hurt the most!



Warrnambool / 27th July 7.30 pm at the 

South Rovers Football Club 
Coulstock St
Warrnambool, Victoria



 
Anthony Hurst (DPI) will be there


We will follow this up with a meeting in the western suburbs and then another at marine house dates etc pending but will be august if this is not resolved.


Petition will be at the boat show and we will try to get it in to a few tackle stores
Last week’s press release almost out of the blue stating that the state government asked DAFF (Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry) for clarification and assurances that we will still be able to fish for SBTs.
Now why would they ask and what have they heard, are questions that need to be asked! and there have also been rumblings around the traps about a push for catch share to allow for the rec fishing take to be included in the international quota.


Things are still murky, but one thing is clear our tuna fishery (recreational sector) was definitely being discussed at a federal level.
Although where this goes and where it came from is still a little unclear, one thing is sure, we need to make some noise to help get to the bottom of it.

SEE YOU THERE!




Please note! A correction has been made to the location previous location was incorrect, the correct location is South Rovers Football Club, Coulstock St, Warrnambool, Victoria
