(1) I refer to the answer to question on notice No. 898 and ask with the designation of six marine parks, one marine nature reserve and approximately 70 other areas under consideration for reserve status, is the Minister aware that Western Australian recreational anglers are concerned that they will be hard-pushed to determine where they can, and cannot, fish?
(2) What methods does the department intend to use to publicly and overtly delineate boundaries?
(3) When will such delineation be carried out?
(4) Will the Minister undertake to make a Ministerial Statement to the House on the matter when rules regarding ‘take’ and ‘no-take’ zones are finalised?

(2) Boundaries are identified in management plans, by signs on the shore and/or floating markers in the water, and in educational material produced by the Department of Conservation and Land Management and the Department of Fisheries. Latitudes and longitudes are also available to enter in navigational equipment on boats. (3) Delineation in the field is carried out as soon as is practicable after the reserve or relevant management zone is legally established. (4) The establishment of 'take' and 'no take' zones and rules are addressed in the indicative management plan that is finalised for each new marine reserve prior to its establishment. The reservation process includes the involvement of both Houses of Parliament in that a copy of the Governor's reservation order must be tabled in each House, where it may be disallowed by resolution of either House. The indicative management plan is prepared subject to extensive consultation and is made publicly available before a notice of intent to establish a reserve is published.
