to the provisions of the Environmental Protection (Water) Policy 2009 (the EPP [Water]), which is subordinate legislation under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 . The EPP (Water) provides a framework for: • identifying environmental values for Queensland waters, and deciding the water quality objectives to protect or enhance those environmental values; and • including the identified environmental values and water quality objectives under Schedule 1 of the EPP (Water). This document contains environmental values and water quality objectives for selected waters in catchments of the Burrum, Gregory, Isis, Cherwell and Elliott Rivers, Eli, O’Regan, Beelbi, Coonarr and Theodolite Creeks, northern parts of Great Sandy Strait, and all other Hervey Bay coastal rivers and creeks, and is listed under schedule 1 of the EPP (Water). 1.1 Waters to which this document applies This document applies to fresh and estuarine waters of the Burrum River, estuarine waters of the Gregory, Isis, and Cherwell Rivers, and lower estuarine/enclosed coastal waters of the Elliott River, Eli, O’Regan, Beelbi, Coonarr and Theodolite Creeks, northern parts of Great Sandy Strait, and all other Hervey Bay coastal rivers and creeks, as represented in the accompanying plan (WQ1371) 1. These waters fall within Queensland Basin 137 2. The geographical extent of waters addressed by this document is shown in plan WQ1371, and extends to cover: • all estuarine and freshwater reaches of the Burrum River (including all tributaries in the Burrum catchment); • estuarine waters of the Gregory, Isis, and Cherwell Rivers (including all estuarine or freshwater tributaries draining into these estuarine waters); • lower estuarine/enclosed coastal waters of the Elliott River, Eli, O’Regan, Beelbi, Coonarr and Theodolite Creeks and all other Hervey Bay coastal rivers and creeks (including all estuarine or freshwater tributaries draining into these lower estuarine/enclosed coastal waters); • the open coastal waters of Hervey Bay into which the above waters flow; • northern parts of Great Sandy Strait; • tidal canals, constructed estuaries, marinas and boat harbours; •

  • Restoring the Fraser Coast As a Recreational Fishing Destination
    Restoring The Fraser Coast as a Recreational Fishing Destination Presented by The Fraser Coast Fishing Alliance Our natural advantage is being wasted .... • The Great Sandy Marine Park is the ONLY Marine Park in Australia (possibly the world ? ) that allows unrestricted numbers of commercial fishers to NET in what “Should Be” TRUE YELLOW CONSERVATION ZONES ! • The Great Sandy Marine Park is a World Heritage listed area and has been designated as an important Biosphere Region under UNESCO in 2009. The Great Sandy Biosphere includes many of Australia’s iconic natural features, internationally recognised as having significant cultural and conservation values including a RAMSAR Site, a major turtle ecosystem and home to Queensland's largest urban coast’s dugong population ! • Across the Fraser Coast region, catch rates for anglers have dropped from 7.8 fish landed per person per trip in 1986 to 0.81 fish per person per trip in 2003. This is unfortunately the most current research but concerns are that this decline continues even further today with localised depletion experienced across a number of key species like Whiting & Golden Trevally . • The majority of commercial fishers comply with regulations. However, there are many practices that are exploitative, questionable and almost impossible for the Fisheries officers to police. • Our unique natural asset should be a tourist mecca but is being ‘managed’ to the detriment of recreational fishers and tourism, so that a small number of commercial fishers and associated businesses might benefit. • Fishermen and tourists are well informed today via social media and are increasingly traveling to regions with Net Free Zones like Mackay , Rockhampton & Cairns ! • The Fraser Coast desperately needs a sustainable economic boost.
