Queensland Fisheries Spearfishing Information Night - Gold Coast

The Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol are presenting an educational talk at Adreno to provide valuable information on various aspects of fishing. The session will cover important topics such as fish identification, size limits, possession limits, and closure periods.

Fish identification is crucial for sustainable fishing practices. Understanding different fish species and being able to identify them accurately helps ensure compliance with regulations and avoid unintentional harm to protected or endangered species.

Size limits refer to the minimum or maximum size of a fish that can be legally harvested. Adhering to these limits helps protect juvenile fish and allows them to reach reproductive maturity, contributing to the overall sustainability of fish populations.

Possession limits specify the maximum number of fish that an individual can legally possess at any given time. These limits are in place to prevent overfishing and ensure fair distribution of resources.

Closure periods are designated time periods during which fishing activities may be restricted or prohibited. These closures are typically implemented to protect breeding grounds, spawning seasons, or specific fish species during vulnerable periods.

In addition to fish-related information, the educational talk will also cover topics such as no-spear areas on the Gold Coast, safety, and etiquette on the water. No-spear areas are specific locations where spearfishing is prohibited due to safety concerns, protected areas, or other regulations. Understanding and respecting these restrictions is essential for both personal safety and environmental conservation.

The session will also provide guidance on safety practices and proper etiquette while on the water. This includes following boating regulations, maintaining a safe distance from other vessels and swimmers, and respecting the rights of other anglers and water users.

Attending this educational talk will equip you with valuable knowledge and promote responsible fishing practices. It is important to stay informed, follow regulations, and prioritise the safety of yourself and others while enjoying recreational activities on the water.

Refreshments: Enjoy complimentary snacks and beverages throughout the event, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
