NO MORE VICTORIAN MARINE PARKS!
July 16, 2010
This week the Victorian National Parks Association (VNPA) proposed 19 new marine parks for Victoria including an extension of the existing park at Point Nepean and four new parks directly affecting users of Port Phillip Bay and Westernport. Say NO today. Sign our online petition.

The petition:
"To the Victorian Environment Minister & Federal Environment Minister,
As recreational anglers we oppose the new proposal by the Victorian National Parks Association (VNPA) for a series of 19 extended or new marine parks in Victoria. There is little scientific evidence to support the marine park concept and further lock-outs will adversely affect the largest recreational sport in Australia, to the economic detriment of the many businesses that survive on this favoured pastime.
We urge the government at both a state and federal level to oppose the extension and/or creation of new marine parks in Victoria."
