(1) Yes
(2)-(4) The drum line operations in the Metropolitan area are being conducted by Fisheries and Marine Officers from the Regional Services division of the Department of Fisheries. The Department approached officers with the required skills and experience requesting them to consider being rostered to the program. It is my understanding that 2 officers advised that they did not want to participate.
