prescription                                                                  Mandatory requirements for activities in the South-east Marine Parks Network as outlined in Chapter 4 of this plan.
pressures                                                                     Human driven processes, events and activities that, if left unchecked, may impact on marine park values.
protected species                                                             Species listed under the EPBC Act as threatened, migratory or marine species and/or cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises).

A vessel or buoy is used to anchor one end of the net while it is set around a fish aggregation in a circular pattern. The bottom of the net has a cable threaded through it which, when pulled, brings the bottom of the net together like a purse trapping the fish inside. The net is then pulled toward the vessel and the fish are either lifted or pumped on board the vessel.
