Recfishwest CEO Dr Andrew Rowland was on the ABC720 Drive show talking to Geoff Hutchison about the blue swimmer crab changes announced earlier in the week.
Check out what Andrew had to say here! *Turn on sound*
Tune in to tonight’s ABC 720 Drive program to listen to Recfishwest's CEO Andrew Rowland - pictured below - talk about changes announced by the Minister for Fisheries today that will give more protection for the female crab breeding stock in Perth and the South-West. Andrew is expected on air talking with the show’s host Geoff Hutchison at 4.15pm.
Some of the changes Andrew will be talking about include the permanent removal of commercial fishing licences in Cockburn and Warnbro Sounds and from Mandurah to Bunbury through a voluntary buyback scheme. This will ensure more protection for the female crab breeding stock and opens up the real possibility of Cockburn Sound reopening to recreational crabbing in the near future.

Protecting the crabs is important! Crabs are King - so get this right and people will experience bigger better crabs forever! The alternative could have been a lot worse!
