The conservation sector has welcomed Environment Minister Jay Weatherill’s declaration of the outer boundaries of South Australia’s marine park network.
“The Minister Weatherill should be congratulated for providing leadership and putting the future of South Australia’s coasts and oceans ahead of opposition from vested interests” said Julie Pettett, CEO of CCSA.
“Well-designed marine parks with adequate sanctuary zones help replenish fish stocks and provide a big boost to the tourism sector and regional ecomomies” said Ms Pettett.
The conservation sector is calling for the creation of large marine park sanctuary zones to ensure the longterm survival of South Australia’s unique, but currently unprotected marine life.
