The future of Recreational Fishing is being decided by non-anglers!
Did you know that the Federal Government is currently being lobbied by a range of organisations to prevent you fishing in certain areas (affecting all states) and for certain species? And did you know that the government is listening to these organisations and doing what they've been asked?
It is now time for us to start asking for things too before our way of life is completely eradicated.
By emailing this letter to the Prime Minister's office, you will be letting them know that you are a recreational angler, actively interested in how our fisheries resources are managed and willing to hold government accountable for their decisions.
The whole process takes less than one minute. It seems like a good investment for your fishing future.

Letter Content -
I am interested in finding out which policies are used by the Federal government to manage Australia's marine environment and associated resources.
Please can you post me copies of the relevant documents that explain and outline these policies, including any documentation outlining future policy directions.
This information will allow me to understand the policy process and become involved to ensure that my views are understood and considered by the Federal government when developing policies to manage our marine environment now and in the future.
As one of a great number of active recreational anglers, I am particularly interested in ensuring that government promote sustainable recreational fishing policies for both current and future generations.

Alternatively you can ring the Prime Minister’s office on 02 6277 7700 (before the end of the month so he gets a LOUD message), and express your concerns over the closure of recreational fishing areas, and the environmental groups plans to have 40 species of fish to list as protected – one of those species could be one YOU fish for regularly!
