This year was no different and a growing membership is a testament to all our hard work and a reward for all of us. Reading through the Annual Report will give you some insight into the jobs that are required to keep the ship on an even keel and then throw the “issues” into the mix and it becomes a very hectic 12 months of dealing with all this but once again we have come through unscathed and still maintaining a good relationship at all levels. The most important thing that we as a Committee have to keep in mind is ensuring that the name and brand that is ANSA NSW is held in high regard within the Government and media and once again we can safely say that all the work we undertake on behalf of ANSA NSW members and by default the State’s other anglers is being heard. Threats to fishing like the lack of science driving bag and size limits, mako, SBT and gemfish reviews and marine parks mean we need to be level headed when arguing our cases when it is just as easy to constantly attack and criticise. Well researched submissions, logical arguments and vigorous debates with all sides of politics has ensured ANSA NSW gets a front row seat at the table on the issues that matter to us as anglers and will hopefully mean we get satisfactory outcomes. It also means that when the science is right, we need to consider all the options on the tables. Our flagship Fishing 4 Therapy, Mulloway Tagging and Angel Ring Projects have seen our stocks raise within the community due to our willingness to roll up our sleeves and get out hands dirty so to speak, something that I am extremely proud to be a part of and so should all ANSA NSW members. The comprehensive outline that follows in John Burgess’ report should give you all some insight into the issues we tackled over the year but should also motivate your Club to pick up the ball and take on some of these issues at your local level. Your local MPs are the best place to start and efforts to establish a good working relationship with them can open some really good avenues to have your local voices heard and add weight to the bigger debates that affect the way we fish in NSW. Finally I just want to add my 2 cents into the flavour of the month which is and how we should be using this great medium to communicate and keep things fresh and fluid. ANSA NSW use our page to post every relevant bit of news we think the membership should be aware of, my own club uses it to have instant updates on events and live fishing reports and as a means of keeping in touch over the course of the week (and also attract new members) but the big questions is what does your club use it for…….let me know next time we meet or just PM me! Stan Konstantaras President ANSA NSW 6 | P a g e Vice President’s Report 2013/14 was another busy year for ANSA at a State and National level. Listed below is a snapshot of some of the many issues concerning recreational fishing that ANSA has been actively involved with over the past year. NSW Size and Bag Limit Review. ANSA participated in the review process and questioned the science and rationale for what essentially would have seen a halving of bag limits for most bread and butter recreational species with little or no justification. The jury is still out on the outcome of the review and it is understood that a final decision now rests with the NSW Primary Industries Minister Katrina Hodgkinson. Mulloway. New size and bag limits were introduced late 2013. ANSA supported the case for an increase in the size limit from 45 to 70 centimetres for both the recreational and commercial sector and a recreational daily bag limit of 2 fish and this is what was adopted by the Minister. Regrettably the extent of restrictions placed on the Commercial sector did not go as far as ANSA would have liked and Estuary General fishers using meshing nets are still permitted a by catch possession allowance of 10 fish between 45 and 70 centimetres and there is a 500 kilogram limit for Ocean Haul endorsement holders. ANSA also encouraged an early reintroduction of Mulloway stocking to give nature a hand and an ongoing study of mulloway stocks. A dedicated Mulloway research programme was established and ANSA members have played an active part in providing data on captures and the submission of Mulloway frames.

  • 1 Murrah Flora Reserves Protect Koalas, but at What
    MURRAH FLORA RESERVES PROTECT KOALAS, BUT AT WHAT COST? Published in National Parks Association Winter edition of Nature NSW, 2016 “When we moved to Murrah State Forest over 30 years ago we were besieged by wildlife. The abundance was just amazing. Nothing we planted survived the possums, wallabies, and parrots. The bandicoots dug things up and the wombats caved in the best of fences. We kept bees, and several kinds of sugar gliders came in groups at the first sniff of honey, the bush rats, mice and bats moved in. We could not leave the windows open in summer because of possums at night and goannas by day. The bird life was abundant, and hugely varied. The bush just hummed with life. The river had a stony bottom, lush aquatic plant life, and deep pools with small fish, eels, redfin, bass, and the native cray, the marron. After decades of logging for woodchips, Murrah State Forest became silent; koalas, wildlife, flocks of parrots, potoroo, Christmas beetles and cicadas disappeared, owls and gliders were rarely heard, the rivers silted up with sand, and the diversity of the forest’s tree species was reduced to silver top ash and highly volatile forest casuarinas.”1 Between July 2012 and June 2015 a huge community-based endeavour saw survey teams of contractors, volunteers, Aboriginal Land Council and agency staff, search for koala pellets under more than 30,000 trees at more than 1,000 grid-sites across the 30,000 ha Bermagui to Murrah study area. The results were encouraging, with a population estimated of 30–60 animals2, up from the 23–47 estimated from a similar survey undertaken between 2007 and 20093.

    Vol. 3. November 2011 [Email to subscribe directly] [Email to unsubscribe] Welcome to the Oyster Newsletter At the request of many oyster industry representatives, this newsletter provides an update on national and international news, events and research that may be of interest to the oyster industry. It is provided to you free, and has the simple goal of providing relevant information to industry. It does not aim to replace those newsletters currently published for the oyster industry, but to supply and collate additional information that isn’t readily available into one space. We encourage farmers to circulate it widely through the industry - print it off and pass it around your workers. If you would like to unsubscribe, please click on the link above, or email [email protected]. Since this newsletter is for your information and as a tool to improve communication across oyster regions, we would appreciate any contributions, ideas for future editions, stories or projects in which you are involved, photographs, or any other feedback... Happy oystering! Andy (OceanWatch Australia) & Ana (University of Wollongong) Oyster Industry Projects NSW Oyster EMS Projects The future of the oyster industry depends not only on a healthy environment, but also on the ability to demonstrate that growers are utilising the environment in a responsible and sustainable manner. One way of doing this is to develop an Environmental Management System (EMS) to show how environmental risks, impacts and opportunities are managed. The process of EMS development allows oyster farmers to identify risks arising from internal, on- farm activities and also from external, catchment-based activities.
