[QUOTE="Way2go, post: 416276, member: 10363"] You could let the authorities know that you were down that way and you saw what looked to be dredging. You may not have photos or any other details to provide, but this will have the authorities possibly send a ranger, environmentalist or other person out to look at the area. or If you have photo's, Rego details, Names etc. you could provide these details to the relevant authorities. It might not be wise to approach them, but if you feel safe, you could approach them and see what they are doing, to confirm what they are doing. Most of these people actually gloat and show off. When they do this they let their guard down and give you more information on what they are doing, how often they do it, and places they have worked in the past. or You could do nothing. It is most definitely your choice to decide what to do. Given that you are seeking advice on this I see that it troubles you. I believe that the authorities might even monitor forums like this. So keep an eye out for a PM from one of them. Personally I get rather mad when people do the wrong thing and ruin the name and image of us genuine prospectors. Intern having the areas banned for all of the honest people. [/QUOTE]
