The marine park comes under the Gascoyne Fishing Rules and these rules specify the waters of the Shark Bay area as such (these are also known as the Shark Bay Inner gulfs): -

  • Eastern Gulf Zone (that is east of the Peron Peninsula and north from Cape Peron North ( 25° 30.2‘ S. 113° 30.6’ E) to a line at (25° 16.6’ S) and east to the coast of the mainland. The southern portion of this zone - the Hamelin Pool Marine Nature Reserve has no fishing allowed.
  • Denham Sound also known as Western Gulf Zone south to line at Goulet Bluff ( 25° 13’ S ) which separates the Freycinet Estuary

The Fisheries department also produces a Species Identification Guide to coincide with the rules

Famous quotes containing the words fishing and/or rules:

    It is long ere we discover how rich we are. Our history, we are sure, is quite tame: we have nothing to write, nothing to infer. But our wiser years still run back to the despised recollections of childhood, and always we are fishing up some wonderful article out of that pond; until, by and by, we begin to suspect that the biography of the one foolish person we know is, in reality, nothing less than the miniature paraphrase of the hundred volumes of the Universal History.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Playing games with agreed upon rules helps children learn to live by rules, establish the delicate balance between competition and cooperation, between fair play and justice and exploitation and abuse of these for personal gain. It helps them learn to manage the warmth of winning and the hurt of losing; it helps them to believe that there will be another chance to win the next time.
    James P. Comer (20th century)
