Tips for Cray Potting
What you need to know to catch more crays!
Pink snapper spawning aggregations like this is what we’re continuing to fight to protect in Cockburn Sound from the Outer Harbour development.
The Westport Taskforce – which made the recommendations for the Outer Harbour development – completely failed to answer this basic question in its multi-million dollar, three-year process: What impact will a new port in Cockburn Sound have on the Sound’s pink snapper stocks and fishing experiences?
So we’re not stopping the fight for the Sound and its habitat which supports the largest spawning aggregations of pink snapper in the West Coast Bioregion.
We’re continuing to push Government to address the Taskforce’s shortcomings and make sure Cockburn Sound’s future as a marine habitat and the future of West Coast pink snapper is not put on the line.
Thanks to Jamie Vogler, of The Nomads, for sending us the footage and thanks to him and the tens of thousands of you like us who care about Cockburn Sound.
