Big question is, what does this really mean... I can't seem to find anywhere what this will 'really' do to the area. Shark Bay doesn't seem to have changed, you can still do most things there... I hear they also want the gulf listed... Hmmmmmmmm
Yes Adam that's what an environmentalist said on the news last night. When they get that, then what and so on and so forth. Sometimes there doesn't seem to be a lot of science behind it. The only thing that is clear to me is that the more they get, the more they want.
I think thats the problem at the moment , no-one really knows or can say what its gunna mean.
I`ve heard that what is permitted under state and commonwealth agreements at the time of the listing will still be allowed, ie all the sanctuary zones, marine parks etc will stay as they are and the recreational uses in those areas will stay as they are, fishing , diving, whalesharking etc .What will probably change is that any new proposals, limestone extraction, oil and gas, tourism infrastructure etc will be subject to world heritage council approval ( not be allowed in other words). Probably the only change will be the tourism operators will be able to charge more for giving the punters a world heritage listed experience.
Might just all have to get bigger boats and travel further

More bureaucracy & red tape thats for certain.
Lets hope the fishing rules & regulations remain unchanged.
