Queensland Residents draws to the attention of the House that recreational fishing enthusiasts are opposed to the introduction of any additional fishing permit or licence fees, of a general or species specific nature that relate to snapper.

 

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to:

 

  1. Conduct further studies before implementing any permanent changes to snapper fisheries management.
  2. Acknowledge the social and economic value to Queenslanders of freely available recreational fishing opportunities for snapper.
