Marine Biologist Phil Laycock is hosting Part 2 – Fishing for the Future in Douglas Shire community workshop at the Port Douglas Community Hall. The workshop is seeking further community input into the development of a Recreational Fishing Strategy for the Douglas Shire. It is expected to discuss community’s vision of establishing an action based pathway to support future sustainable fishing in the Shire.

The intention of the workshop is to develop a community-owned plan that reflects community values for sustainable fishing in our Shire, supports fishing associated business & tourism development, and a sustainable and healthy fishery for the future. In order to do this we are seeking feedback and ideas from as many people as possible across our Shire.
