Hopefully we can answer your questions here.
Whilst in some aquatic reserves you can fish with a few restrictions, in the case of Bongin Bongin Bay, we are advocating for a "No Take" Aquatic Reserve which means that fishing or collecting of any kind is prohibited.
The thing you can do to help the most is write a letter to our members of Parliament.

Each aquatic reserve has its own rules but all of them allow you to enjoy a range of marine activities such as boating, scuba diving, snorkelling and swimming.
In area the proposed aquatic reserve will be approximately 451,000 square meters (45 hectares). It will have a boundary (perimeter ) of 3.8km.
The Friends of Bongin Bongin Bay acknowledge the Garigal people of the Wannangine Guringai Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the earth and waters where Bongin Bongin Bay is located and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples throughout Australia.
We honour their continuing culture and connection to land and sea. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and extend that respect and recognition to all First Nations peoples.
