Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House the ongoing conflict between recreational fishers and commercial net fishers in the Trinity Bay Fishery, particularly the inshore waters off the coast between False Cape and Taylor Point (north end of Trinity Beach) including those parts of the Barron River and all creeks and estuaries that form part of that fishery.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to urge the Government to acquire all necessary permits and licenses from commercial fishers (bait fishers only excepted) with fair and reasonable compensation in order to cease commercial gill netting in the Trinity Bay Fishery.
