More protection for Giant Australian Cuttlefish with a temporary restriction on recreational activities at their Upper Spencer Gulf

3 months ago by arbilp3 to c/adelaide

Giant Australian Cuttlefish will be better protected with a temporary restriction on recreational activities at their Upper Spencer Gulf breeding site…

The measure – which restricts in-water recreational activities, including swimming, snorkelling and diving, as well as vessel anchoring – aims to minimise any disturbance on breeding cuttlefish and help protect their eggs and hatchlings.

All marine park sanctuary zones are areas of high conservation value and no fishing has been allowed in them for more than a decade.

Latest surveys undertaken by the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) and Department for Environment and Water (DEW) show a significant reduction in cuttlefish numbers this breeding season.
