How do I know where the zones are if my boat doesnt have navigational/ plotting equipment?
If you dont own a GPS (Global Positioning System), you will still be able to navigate and determine the location of most zones. Most Marine National Park (Green) Zones and Conservation Park (Yellow) Zones close to the coast are simple shapes and the boundaries can usually be lined up with headlands or landmarks on the coast or on islands. The detailed map series (1:250 000 scale) is the best source of information in this case and every attempt has been made to provide reference to geographic features to assist users. Offshore the majority of zones are large, but if you have any doubt, ensure you stay well away from any no-fishing zones. Using a GPS for navigating zones is recommended where other markers are not visible.
