To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of
Queensland.

The Petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the
House our belief that all Queenslanders should be able to share in the
seafood produced by the State’s waters.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to ensure that those parts
of Hervey Bay and the Great Sandy Straits open to commercial fishing
should remain open to commercial fishing so that all Queenslanders may
benefit from the seafood available in this region.
