[QUOTE="Guest, post: 35142"] The Fisheries Management Act states: (1) This Act applies:(a) in relation to all waters that are within the limits of the State. Under section 7 you require a permit as per below. Good luck with that - under this Act inspectors also have powers of siezure of equipment used in relation to fisheries offences like cars, boats, dredges etc. [url]http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/habitat/protecting-habitats/activities-requiring-a-permit[/url] The NSW Fossicking Guidelines, although not specifically law but based on various legislation, also states: No explosives or dredges may be used for fossicking! Be aware that there is more than one piece of legislation that affects what we can/can't do. [/QUOTE]
