Industry & Investment NSW (I&I NSW) has re-opened part of the NSW coast from Botany Bay to Wreck Bay that was previously closed, to allow commercial and limited recreational abalone fishing.
Recreational fishing for abalone in this area will only be permitted on weekends and NSW public holidays directly adjacent to weekends.
I&I NSW Senior Fisheries Manager, Cameron Westaway, said the area had been closed to both recreational and commercial fishing for some years due to concerns about depleted stocks and the impact of an outbreak of a naturally occurring disease caused by the Perkinsus parasite. “The independent Total Allowable Catch Committee, which sets the total commercial catch, believed there were some signs of recovery of stocks in the area and recommended that a limited commercial take of four tonnes would provide information on the status of stock,” Mr Westaway said. “We have now implemented that recommendation and have also allowed for the recreational take of abalone in the area on weekends and adjacent NSW public holidays.
“The area from Port Stephens to Botany Bay will remain closed to both commercial and recreational fishing for abalone until there is evidence of stock recovery in that area.”
Areas north of Port Stephens and south of Wreck Bay are open to commercial and recreational fishing under the existing rules.
Recreational fishers are reminded that the possession limit in waters open to the taking of abalone in NSW is two per person and the minimum prescribed legal length for abalone in NSW is 11.7 centimetres.
I&I NSW Fisheries Compliance Director, Glenn Tritton, said that abalone is now listed as a priority species under the Fisheries Management Act and persons found guilty of trafficking abalone face up to 10 years imprisonment. “Limiting recreational take to weekends and adjacent public holidays will not only help limit the catch while the stocks continue to be monitored, but will also assist fisheries officers to concentrate efforts on catching abalone thieves.
“Recently introduced legislation has significantly increased penalties for abalone theft and offenders now faced large fines and significant goal time. “I&I NSW is committed to protecting our marine resources for future generations and our fisheries officers will continue to target people involved in illegal abalone activity.”
