He reflects on the balance between maintaining healthy river flows and the needs of irrigators, in the context of sustainably feeding a growing population.
He believes the key to balance and sustainability lies beneath the surface, through rehydrating landscapes and recharging aquifiers. JOL discusses how this might be achieved based on the strengths and weaknesses of the Murray and Darling River systems.]]>2016-05-02T05:11:02+10:00

His father was drawn to the area for its recreational fishing, and the interviewee ‘grew up as a mad fisherman’, fishing from both the shore and boat. He has taught his children to fish, and recalls fond memories growing up with his brother, snorkelling and spear fishing.
In terms of the tourist business, he enjoys the interactive experiences he is able to offer customers, such as watching South Coast stingrays and water birds feeding on fish. Out in the kayaks his experiences are generally positive; kayakers are able to move about freely and interact with local commercial fishermen, who are happy to engage and educate. There are negative experiences as well, including poaching or illegal fishing in sanctuary zones. Jet skis are a problem; they are noisy and reduce the enjoyment of kayakers.
When asked about the amnesty or allowance of shore fishing in sanctuary zones, he raises concern about the confusion it causes between ‘ocean-fronted’ and other sanctuary zones. He believes more resources should be placed into educating the public so that recreational fishing and tourism can still bring economic value to the region, in an environmentally sustainable way.]]>2016-05-01T19:54:41+10:00

Michelle has worked on marine conservation issues for around 15 years, in government and, more recently, as a researcher. Her research interests are in the human dimension of conservation management, especially in relation to marine protected areas and fisheries management. Her PhD looked at influences on the social acceptability of two NSW (Australia) marine parks. She is currently employed as a researcher on an FRDC project exploring the social and economic contribution of wild caught commercial fisheries to NSW (Australia) coastal communities.
