QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the sanctuary zones in biodiversity conservation and/or fisheries management. (1) How many research papers have been written by the Department of Fisheries staff, or on behalf of the Department of Fisheries, about the value of sanctuary zones for marine biodiversity conservation and/or fisheries management? (2) Will the minister table all of those papers? (3) How many of those papers offer qualified or total support for the use of sanctuary zones for biodiversity conservation? Hon JON FORD

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Scientists from the Department of Fisheries research division have published two papers dealing directly with the relative value of sanctuary areas for fisheries management purposes, which also influences biodiversity. These are - (a) Fletcher, W.J., 2002: “Where do marine protected areas fit within an ecologically sustainable development framework? A Western Australia perspective”, as appeared in “Aquatic protected areas: What works best and how do we know? Proceedings of the World Congress on Aquatic Protected Areas, Cairns, Australia, August 2002, University of Queensland Press, Brisbane.” (b) Newman, S.J., Hyndes, G.A., Penn, J.W., Mackie, M.C. and Stephenson, P.C., 2002: “Review of generic no-take areas and conventional fishery closure systems and their application to the management of tropical fishery resources along north-western Australia”, as appeared in “Aquatic protected areas: What works best and how do we know? Proceedings of the World Congress on Aquatic Protected Areas; Cairns, Australia, August 2002, University of Queensland Press, Brisbane.” (2) The two papers are freely available in the library system. Copies are also tabled. (3) These papers focus on the utility of sanctuary areas for fisheries management purposes, but also provide qualified support for their use in maintaining biodiversity where the biodiversity management objectives are clearly identified. Scientists of the Department of Fisheries research division have prepared a further paper on this matter for consideration by the independent scientific reference panel that is being established to develop a scientific statement that will assist government in developing a marine sanctuaries policy.
