This Group was created after wide consultation with the community of the North Coast of Kangaroo Island. The purpose of our Group is to voice our opposition to the proposed Sanctuary Zones within the Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park in particular Sanctuary Zones G and I. Our Committee consists of the following members: Allan Childs, Jim Chapman, Paul Davies, Kevin Pratt and Candina Williams. The Group produced three submissions this year to the Kangaroo Island Marine Parks Local Advisory Group (KI MPLAG). Our third and final submission to the KI MPLAG is outlined in Appendix 1.This outlines our final proposals for the location of the Sanctuary Zones and these were accepted by the Kangaroo Island Marine Parks Local Advisory Group (KI MPLAG) on a majority vote. The Department of the Environment and Natural Resources now has this recommendation. Our submissions were supported by 542residents and visitors, who put their names to the submissions. A list of the names is in Appendix 2. We have enclosed all our objections to the Sanctuary Zones from our submissions, which are still applicable to your Terms of Reference. While these objections make a lengthy submission to the Select Committee, we believe their inclusion is vital as we believe the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will still overturn the recommendations of the KI MPLAG. By fully informing you of our objections we are asking you to use every means at your disposal to ensure DENR implement the recommendations of the KL MPLAG. The Group’s opposition to the initial proposed Sanctuary Zones wasbased on several major objections, which we outline these issues below: A. The consultation process B. Non-availability of scientific research C. Safety issues D. Social implications E. Economic implications However before explaining the above, we include two other sections outlining the background to community objections and the State government’s stated criteria. These put into the context our objections to the process and the DNER recommendations. To understand the original DENR proposals and the final advice from the KL MPLAG please refer to the following maps: Southern Spencer Gulf Proposed Zones Marine Park 12 Final KI MPLAG Advice Marine Park 12 Final Yorke MPLAG Advice 2 Background to Community Objections A. The Community’s Views on the Environment The people of the North Coast and Kangaroo Island as a whole want a clean natural environment and make efforts to ensure that this environment is protected. The Islanders make a conscious choice to remain on the Island despite the economic handicaps that come with living here. These include the higher costs of living (e.g. petrol is $1.50 or more per litre) plus the lower than average State income and a lower Gross State Product per capita than the State average. One of the reasons, if not the prime reason, for accepting these handicaps is the quality of the natural environment. As such the community has historically taken strenuous efforts to protect the environment both on land and at sea. In this context the community wants to maintain a pristine sea and coastline. They want this for its own sake but they also realize that this naturally pristine environment is the basis for the Island’s tourism, which is a considerable source of income and employment. As such the concept of Marine Parks in order to protect the marine environment is not a matter of serious dispute in our community. However the Sanctuary Zones are disputed as they have wide repercussions for the society and economy of the North Coast and the Island as a whole. B. State Government’s Stated Criteria We would like to outline the stated criteria for the proposed Sanctuary Zones as these are important to the context of our Group’s objections. The criteria we quote below come from the Introduction to each Preliminary Sanctuary Zone Scenario provided by the DENR for the last MPLAG meeting in November. The criteria include: The preliminary sanctuary zone scenario is only a starting point and does not represent a Government proposal or preference. There may be better ways to design a marine park zoning scheme to achieve the desired outcome. It is expected that this work will result in changes to what is initially provided. Indeed, this is the purpose of the MPLAGs and key stakeholder engagement – to better inform and assist the Government in this process – so we can help ensure that the needs of local communities and industries are met. The State Government has not adopted an arbitrary percentage target for the size of sanctuary zones. Instead, it remains open to the advice of the community as to how to best design the marine parks network to protect and conserve marine biodiversity and marine habitats in a manner that accords with the objects of the Marine Parks Act 2007. To assist MPLAGs, key stakeholders and other community members to develop their preferred zoning scenarios, you will be provided with some indicative zoning guidelines: o One of these zoning guidelines is that the sanctuary zones should cover about 20-25% of each marine park – this would translate to about 10% of our State’s waters. 3 o However, this is a guideline only and may not be achievable in some marine parks, particularly where there are significant policy commitments in place to provide for various current and future activities. o Your attention is drawn to the marine park policy commitments made by the Government in 2009, in particular the assurance given to the commercial fishing industry that the outcome of marine parks zoning will have no more than a 5% economic impact. We outline the above as there is a significant difference between stated Government policy and criteria and how the consultation process is actually being run. We highlight specific instances of this below. Community Objections A. The Consultation Process The North Coast community has been and still is concerned about the speed of the consultation process and we made the following points on this: While the Island has been waiting several years for the Sanctuary Zones to be announced, the timing of their announcement was a concern The Zones were announced at the MPLAG meeting on 18th November 2010 Members of the MPLAG committee only received the date of the meeting 10 days before the meeting so had little time to alert the community Members of the community were only given notice in the Islander newspaper on the day of the meeting on 18th November 2010 Following the meeting, the community was told that they had to send in their submissions to the MPLAG committee by mid-February 2011 so that the MPLAG committee could read them before presenting them to the DENR at a proposed meeting in late February 2011 Then in early January our Committee was informed by Phil Hollow of the DENR that submissions had to be submitted to him by 28th January 2011 The result is that the submission process has been shrunk to just over two months at a time when the local community is at one of its busiest times for farmers and commercial charter fishermen The impression given to the community by the DENR was that the process was being rushed at the expense of community views. In several private conversations between DENR officials and members of the community, it has been stated that there is no room for negotiation on the location of the Sanctuary Zones. This was clearly not abiding by the spirit of the consultation process laid out by the Government and the community believes that the DENR was acting outside the Government guidelines. Consequently the North Coast community is still very angry. Speaking to other Islanders, our North Coast community believes this anger is mirrored throughout the Island. It has left our community distrustful of further DENR actions. 4 While our Group achieved our desired recommendation from the KI MPLAG this recommendation has still to be implemented. We will monitor the rest of the process for the location of the Sanctuary Zones but we expect further opposition by DENR to the recommendations of the KI MPLAG. B. Unavailability of Scientific Research Given the significant social and economic implications of the Zones, the community was bewildered by the lack of scientific research available to the public to justify not only the theory behind Sanctuary Zones but also their specific locations. The process has progressed since the start of the year but there is still no public scientific justification for why there should be a fishing ban in the Sanctuary Zones. Professor Cheshire is Chair of the Scientific Working Group for Marine Parks and Marine Planning. He has publicly stated that the Working Group has reviewed all available science relating to marine parks and they have therefore recommended that fishing bans be put in Sanctuary Zones. However he has not publicly stated why. Meanwhile there are a significant number of fisheries scientists, including Professor Bob Kearney, Emeritus Professor of Fisheries at the University of Canberra, who disagree with the proposed ban. I am sure you will be hearing from them. As such public policy is being based on this disputed science and this can only be a mistake for the KI community and South Australia at large. C. Safety Issues Sanctuary Zone I The location of Sanctuary Zone I is of particular concern for safety reasons and the community believes lives are at risk. This should be particularly alarming for the government. The majority of recreational fishermen on the North Coast fish in Sanctuary Zone I. The beach and ramp facilities on the North Coast make launching relatively difficult so that all boats are invariably small. Meanwhile the seas on the North Coast of the Island are subject to the southern ocean, which can often be rough and wild. This affects smaller boats in particular. It can be particularly dangerous when boats are at sea and then conditions change quickly, which can be the case. Larger boats that can launch can handle these seas with far less risk. Sanctuary Zone I starts roughly 1.5km from Snellings Beach but many of the fishing grounds in the Zone are beyond 1.5km. As such there is a risk that recreational fishermen will try to fish beyond the outer limit of the Zone, which is 7.5km from Snellings Beach. Given the inherent dangers in the Investigator Straitthis poses a considerable risk to lives. This is surely not a risk that the Government wants to increase. 5 Sanctuary Zone G While few recreational fishermen launching from the Island fish in this Zone due to the distance from launching sites, there is still an important safety aspect to the location of this Zone. KI Fishing Adventures, skippered and owned by Gavin Solly, provides the only community safety boat in the region. KI Fishing Adventures has two boats one is 65 feet long while the other is 45 feet long. These charter boats provide charters 200 days per year and they are the only boats based on the North Coast that can handle the roughest of seas in the region. Consequently KI Fishing Adventures provides the only boats capable for sea rescue in the region and they have on several occasions helped boats in distress. Also given their radio equipment they are able to alert sea rescue authorities when other boats radio for distress. However should Sanctuary Zone G remain as proposed this would effectively destroy the business of KI Fishing Adventures as itfishes 70% of the time in Zone G. The business would then have to relocate away from Kangaroo Island. As such the valuable sea safety support that KI Fishing Adventures provides would then not be available. Again this is surely not a risk that the Government can accept. Gavin has suggested alternative Zone locations to the DENR, which include a Snapper breeding ground on which he does not fish, but he has had no response. The DENR also has no information on the seabed of Zone G but Gavin has provided this to them through his extensive fishing database, which is proprietary to him through his own creation. D. Social Implications Recreational fishing has been a way of life for decades on the North Coast. Pristine seas, beautiful coastline and the availability of fish have been natural drawcards for the local community. Recreational fishing has provided a quality of life when there are far fewer recreational pastimes on the Island compared to the mainland. This has also been one of the compensations for living in an economically poor part of South Australia. People have settled and houses have been built on the basis that residents then have the right to fish recreationally. If recreational fishing is banned it would also lead to people leaving the community with the consequent social and economic implications, which will be dealt with in more detail below. Should Sanctuary Zone I remain there would be no points in launching from Snellings Beach and King George Pebbly Beach, the latter being directly in the Zone. This would also affect several small launching points between Stokes Bay and Snellings Beach. 6 E. Economic Implications The Kangaroo Island Economy The economy is narrowly based with the four main sectors being farming, aquaculture, tourism and commercial fishing. This has influenced the following economic characteristics of the Island: The economy has a lower Gross State Product per capita than the State average while having a lower income per capita Meanwhile costs are significantly higher and the average cost of living is estimated to be 22.5% higher than the SA average. There is no subsidized travel while freight costs are far higher as all goods come by ferry. The population was estimated to be 4,602 in 2008 and the council rates from this low population have to finance spending across the large geography of the Island. Consequently council operating expenses per capita are significantly higher than in other SA councils. 31% of the population is over 55, which will lead to a long-term decline in population and therefore ratepayer base Under these circumstances it is not surprising that the KI Council was deemed to be financially unsustainable by the Local Government Association of SA in 2005 Any dramatic change in the Island’s economic base will lead to a reduction on the ratepayer base of the Council with potentially severe repercussions on its finances, its spending and its employment of the local population. This will also have a significant impact on the capital value of properties along the North Coast. Meanwhile the community will not be compensated for any such fall in capital values. Given the State government has just announced a $25m package to assist the economy of KI, the State Government obviously recognizes the limited economic prospects for the island and so it must recognize the importance of tourism for the island economy. The Importance of Tourism to Kangaroo Island and South Australia There are 185,000 tourists per annum and the Federal Government ranks the Island in the top four tourist destinations in Australia by numbers. They also rank it as the number one ecotourism destination in Australia. Tourism provides 15% of the direct employment on the Island but there is considerable indirect employment created by tourism spending on goods and services e.g. National Parks, retail outlets, hotels. The self-catering accommodation sector also uses significant numbers of trades people for maintenance of its properties while paying significant higher-than-average council rates The South Australian Tourism Plan, 2009-14 published by the State government in 2009 has prioritized the development of food and wine tourism plus the development of KI as a tourist destination. The Tourism Plan plans to increase tourism receipts from $4.2bn in 2007 to $6.3bn in 2014 In fact at any major State tourism event, Kangaroo Island is presented as the ‘jewel in the crown’ for SA tourism. Once tourists visit the Island there is a 7 high probability that they visit other tourist destinations in SA such as the wine regions. A reduction in tourism to the Island will have a knock-on effect for the whole of SA. The KI Strategic Tourism Plan, 2006 published by Kangaroo Island Council plans to build and sustain an enduring tourism industry withdiverse experiences and attractions that will strengthen the economic viability of tourism businesses. We know that the Government would like to double the number of tourists to KI to 350,000 p.a. Banning recreational fishing will not achieve this. Sources: KI Strategic Tourism Plan, 2006 Strategic Management Plan, 2010-14 (KI council) Local Government on KI Today and Tomorrow, 2008 South Australian Tourism Plan, 2009-14 (2009) The Importance of Tourism to the North Coast From the above points it is clear that tourism is of significance to the Island economy while tourism development is part of Council and State Government economic planning Tourism’s impact on the North Coast economy is large. Between Snellings Beach and Stokes Bay there are roughly 100 self-catering beds. Around Snellings Beach area there are roughly 80 self-catering beds and from there to Cape Forbin there are roughly 100 beds. This is a total of 280 beds. This not only provides direct employment but provides indirect employment to service providers to the properties The self-catering properties provide significant amounts of Council rates due to the property values maintained through sustained numbers of guests This accommodation relies on recreational fishing as a drawcard to properties with 40%+ of guests launching their own boats. The proposed effective prohibition of recreational fishing will lead to a loss of bookings and therefore income while tourism employment will also be reduced. The Importance of KI Fishing Adventures and Sanctuary Zone G The economic importance of this charter company to the North Coast cannot be underestimated. We have already outlined their importance to local boating safety under ‘Safety Issues’ on p.5. They take fishermen out to the middle of the Investigator Strait where few other charter boats go and they have established a good reputation among the recreational fishing fraternity nationally. It attracts significant numbers of tourists from SA, interstate and even internationally. The resulting good word-of-mouth is good not only for the business but also Kangaroo Island and South Australia as a whole While fishing in Sanctuary Zone G they haveover 1500 marks so that no overfishing of any one mark occurs With 10 customers per trip at $220 per customer and 200 trips per year the business is estimated to account for 1% of all tourism receipts alone on the Island 8 The influence of KI Fishing Adventures does not stop there. Most of their customers rent self-catering accommodation on the North Coast. Remove KI Fishing Adventures and there will be a reduction in self-catering rentals. The proposed Sanctuary Zone G will make KI Fishing Adventures an unviable business as most of the fishing occurs there and the business would move to another part of Australia. 29th July, 2011 9 Appendix 1: Third Submission on Sanctuary Zones G & I within the Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park Introduction This is a third submission by the Committee of the North Coast Marine Park Group. It is a submission to Minister Paul Caica and the Kangaroo Island Marine Park Local Advisory Group (MPLAG) in relation to Sanctuary Zones G and I within the Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park. Ideally our Group does not want recreational nor charter fishing bans in any zones. In the meantime our Group has to minimize the social and economic impact of any potential fishing bans on the North Coast of Kangaroo Island. Broad support for minimizing these bans has also been given by the Kangaroo Island Council, which has sent a report to Minister Caica outlining the social and economic impacts of these proposed bans. As such we would like to suggest alternative zones as outlined below. In consultation with the community of the lower Yorke Peninsula we have also agreed these proposals with them. Ian Janzow, Chairman of the Western Yorke Peninsula LAG, has been in close consultation with the Yorke Peninsula community about these proposals and Ian will be presenting them to his LAG on 14th May. Should the Western Yorke Peninsula LAG accept these proposals then the proposals would have the support not only of the Yorke Peninsula community but also the North Coast Marine Park Group, which itself has 542 members (see Appendix 2 for the list of people who agreed to support this submission). With such significant community support we would expect Minister Caica to fully implement these proposals. Submission Remove the Sanctuary Zones G and I in their present location for the reasons outlined in our first submission of 28th January. Replace them with the following three new Sanctuary Zones as outlined on the enclosed map. 1. The suggested new Zone (I) in the middle of Investigator Strait: It is 8km by 8km giving a total area of roughly 64 square kilometers It covers a significant Whiting breeding ground at Orcades Bank It covers a significant length of drop-off on the seabed. This is often where there are significant numbers of marine flora and fauna. It will have negligible impact social and economic impact on the North Coast of Kangaroo Island and the Yorke Peninsula 10 2. Zone G has been reduced in size and relocated eastwards. It has the following characteristics and benefits: It is a total area of roughly 110 square kilometers It covers several different types of habitat 3. One small zone on the North Coast of Kangaroo Island and it has the following characteristics and benefits: It is one km by one km It is next to the Western River Conservation Park It covers several different types of habitat It will cause minimal disruption to the community of the North Coast of Kangaroo Island Conclusion These proposals have the support of the members of the North Coast Marine Park Group, which who total 542.
