FYI
The Solitary Islands and Jervis Bay marine parks are under attack and urgently need your support.
The protective zonings for both the Solitary Islands and Jervis Bay marine parks are being reviewed and anti-marine park lobbyists are fighting hard to reduce the protection in these parks.
The government's proposed zoning changes offer some improvements, particularly in the poorly protected Solitary Islands, but do not go far enough for vital reef habitats or iconic aggregation areas for the critically endangered grey nurse shark.
The Nature Conservation Council and National Parks Association’s proposals offer strong environmental protection while enabling sustainable fishing across the majority of both parks.
We urgently need you to make a submission to support our improved zoning maps. To assist you in doing so we have prepared an e-submission form covering both parks. We encourage you to add personal comments as this adds significant weight to your submission, allowing it to be considered as an individual submission.
Thanks for your support in protecting these unique areas.
