Barrow Island
Submitted by Lucky Tim on Thu, 2011-05-26 20:49
Ahoy!
You would think that with the amount of marine parks around nowadays that maps and info would be easy to find but they sure aren't. I remeber the first time Brad and I went to the Montes, it took hours of surfing and emails just to get a copy of the marine park map and now I'm having the same difficulties with a map of Barrow Island.
Can anyone help please?
Cheers
Tim

Recfishwest
PS, I always go straight to the Recfishwest website for marine park info. They have it well laid out:

Thanks KMO, that links us to
Thanks KMO, that links us to the same pages we found earlier.
I was curious if anything has changed? The maps on the management plan were drawn in 2006.
You would think there would be an easy to find guide. Going through a 135 page PDF file is bullshit to find out some information which if incorrect could land you in big trouble.
As Lucky Tim said " you think it would be easy to find"

Oops
Sorry, I should have seen that link already up there. I guess with the management plan being 2007-2017 it would be reasonable to expect it hasn't changed. It is funny that if Fisheries legislation doesn't appear to have changed for a few years we start to get suspicious that we missed something!
