Foreword

6 February 2004

The Hinchinbrook Plan of Management has been developed in partnership with local communities through the Hinchinbrook Local Marine Advisory Committee.  This committee is comprised of representatives from Local Government Authorities, Commercial and Recreational Fishing organisations, tourism operators, cane grower organisations, Chamber of Commerce, traditional owners, other community groups and Resource Managers.

The recommendations and management strategies outlined in this plan will have significant future economic and social benefits on communities which are adjacent to the planning area.  It was also recognised that local communities have a great wealth of knowledge about natural processes, social activities and patterns of use in the planning area.

This plan is the result of several years of consultation, during which time there were many contentious issues that required careful consideration. The committee was focused on recommending best practice for sustainable use and also our obligation to pass onto future generations, the wonderful natural assets that we enjoy today.

It was also recognised that this plan must be a living document which will require future revision and ongoing involvement by local communities.

This plan of management is and should always be a matter of community pride and unity of purpose.
