Love the wording for the South Coast region - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

CurtyL, it is in there under Appendix A. Not real clear though because it is actually 2 MPAs, a reserve and a conservation area.

M1, in a reserve there is no take or disturbance of any kind allowed. In a conservation area 1 or more things may be allowed. Some examples of allowed activities in specific conservation areas are: recreational bait fishing, commercial bait fishing, sand replenishment, recreational fishing for pelagics only, harpooning billfish (no really!!).

TMan, I think that "open and transparent" has got to be is the biggest joke of all. Either that, or calling the idiots a "science advisory team". The top 2 of them stated at the last BRTF meeting that the WSB were on the decline at the beginning of this incredible year of fishing for them.
