QuestionView source ↗
COMMERCIAL TAKE OF CORAL SPECIES - REGULATORY ARRANGEMENTS
I understand that the minister has instructed his department to prepare a section 43 order pursuant to the Fish Resources Management Act 1994 that prohibits the taking of the coral species - catalaphyllia jardinei - in all state waters, and that this decision was made by the minister in response to concerns from the communities at Karratha and Dampier. (1) What are the current regulatory arrangements governing the take of coral species - including catalaphyllia jardinei - in state waters? (2) Who are the commercial operators permitted to take coral species, including catalaphyllia jardinei ? (3) What is the annual value of the commercial take of coral species, including catalaphyllia jardinei , to the economy of Western Australia? (4) Will the minister undertake to consult with the affected commercial operators about the proposed prohibition on the take of the coral species catalaphyllia jardinei and consider their advice prior to making a final decision to institute the section 43 order? (5) If not, why not? Hon JON FORD

AnswerView source ↗
I thank Hon Bruce Donaldson for some notice of the question. I have managed to avoid using the Latin name in my answer. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : Unlike Bruce; he makes them up, I reckon. Hon JON FORD : No; it is the correct name, but I am not game to pronounce it. (1) Currently under the Fish Resources Management Act 1994, a section 43 order - number 7 of 2001 - prohibits the taking of coral other than for a commercial purpose in accordance with an authorisation. (2) Five marine aquarium fish licences have permissive conditions allowing the take of coral. The persons currently holding licences authorising the take of coral are Mr Wayne McKenzie-Brown, Mr Jonathon Potter, Mr Clinton Benbow, Mr Simon Hawke and Mr Peter Fullerton. (3) The department does not know the annual value of the commercial coral collected and sold because the prices vary considerably, depending on the quality, variety and size of the specimens sold and on the market in which it is sold. The licensees are also very guarded about revealing the value of their sales because of competition between them. (4) Yes. (5) Not applicable.
