RecFish SA successfully advocated for a fairer snapper bag limit in the South East zone, now set at 3 fish per person and 9 per boat, per day. This change brings recreational fishers closer to equity with commercial access in the region while still prioritising sustainability. The decision supports local tourism and regional economic activity by encouraging fishing visits to the South East. It reflects RecFish SA’s commitment to balancing access with conservation and recognising the community’s strong stewardship of the fishery.
