ABC News: Wilderness Society warns against winding back Solitary Islands Marine Park protection

Conservationists are warning recreational shoreline fishing will impact on biodiversity in Marine Parks like the Solitary Islands off Coffs Harbour.
The NSW Government placed an amnesty on recreational shoreline fishing in marine parks last year, and it is now considering making it permanent.
Representatives from the Wilderness Society yesterday met with Coffs Harbour MP Andrew Fraser, and are in Byron Bay today.
