About the notices
The Cod Grounds Commonwealth Marine Reserve, located about four nautical miles off Laurieton in NSW, has been established. New management arrangements are now in place.
These notices, which were published in a special Commonwealth Gazette of 28 May 2007, give effect to the new management arrangements. Under the new management arrangements, all fishing is prohibited in the Cod Grounds Commonwealth Marine Reserve and any vessels entering the Reserve must have all fishing gear unrigged and stowed away while in the Reserve.
More about Determinations is set out on the Marine Protected Areas Legal Frameworks web page.
