Great Barrier Reef Marine Park: Know your zone

Zoning rules apply in the Marine Park © QPWS / Victor Huertas

If you're fishing off the Queensland Coast north of Bundaberg these holidays, its likely you'll enter the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

Zoning rules apply in the Marine Park so it's important to know them, and where you can and can't fish, before you head out. The free Eye on the Reef app or your chart plotter, are tools you can use to access zoning information.

The app can be downloaded from the App Store or on Google Play and can be used outside of mobile range. Fishing in the right zone today, contributes to a healthier ecosystem and fish for the future. To learn more about zones and responsible reef-practices visit gbrmpa.gov.au.
