Recreational Angling Access.
Over the past 10 years, access to angling platforms / locations in both marine and freshwater environments has noticeably diminished. Examples of these include the Port River system and aquaculture sites. Marine Parks will further increase this growing issue. Where have you been affected in your area?

Pipi’s ( Goolwa cockles ) under stress, see the full article. Commercial sector quota halved, recreational anglers being asked to voluntarily reduce their bag limit by 50% ( 300 pipi’s ), until Regulations can be drafted and implemented. Local Bait requirements will likely become extremely difficult.
