The Perth Thread - Part 4

[Jezzza]

According to DPIRD, in 2023-24:
around 70% of WA dhufish catch in the West Coast bioregion was taken by recreational fishers
more than 85% of snapper catches in the northern West Coast bioregion were taken by the commercial fishing sector
more than 70% of snapper catches in the southern West Coast bioregion were taken by recreational fishers

Methinks Recfishwest are citing the statewide demersal catch, being a little disingenous. The demersal ban in question for recreational fishers is only in the West Coast bioregion, north of Kalbarri to east of Augusta.

Insert joke here about West Coast's poor form.

If you're interested, you can read the technical report here https://library.dpird.wa.gov.au/fish_rar/2/

Recfishwest is basically a political lobby group.

There will be a massive spike in rec fishers going South & smashing that area. It's just fortunate that the weather really limits how often fishers can get out during the Winter months which gives stocks in those areas a chance to recover. This may be the first time in history that those fishers living on the South Coast will be praying for regular howling Easterlies during Summer...

Recently started working in the city after 8 years of FIFO.

We really do live in a special place, I remember when the CBD used to be dead but there is so much energy around now.

Is there? I went on a weekend and it still seemed a shadow of what it was when I grew up. The introduction of apartment living and ECU should help with the weekend activity, at least.

I'm not in the CBD every day any more but I always thought there was a lunch time rush buzz and an after work buzz but outside those times it really dies in the arse. It's a quirk of society that bricks and mortar retail is 'dying' and people will order Ubereats from local cafes instead of going to them but good luck getting a parking spot at Karrinyup or Carousel or Joondalup etc.

Would assume that is part of it as well as the consolidation to just the fm transmitter sites
