Conservation or Resource Management?
Below high tide NSW Fisheries manage fish and invertebrates with high priority given to the needs of recreational and professional fishermen. This need to balance conservation and exploitation is reflected in the variety of Aquatic Reserves. They include Refuges, Sanctuaries, Multiple Use Areas and Intertidal Protected Areas. In an attempt to provide greater protection, the skills of the NPWS and Fisheries are being combined in a new independent authority - the NSW Marine Parks Authority. The only marine reserve on the Central Coast - Bouddi Marine Extension, is a forerunner of this type of collaboration.
