Charter fishing operators and Aboriginal landowners have been left fuming after footage emerged of fishing gill-nets allegedly used in closed waters.
Traditional owners and charter fishing operators from the Arnhem Bay area have been left outraged by the alleged discovery, branding the commercial operators as "disrespectful" and "a disgrace". Council chairwoman Joanne Butterworth-Gray said NT fishing authorities were "informed in advance of all operations in the Arnhem and Buckingham Bay areas, ensuring transparency and security in our processes".Last year, Yolngu Traditional Owners closed two prime fishing spots in North East Arnhem Land due to concerns about overfishing and bycatch of protected species.
"We need to start looking at more sustainable ways to fish, and to share that responsibility of looking after the country those protected areas in general."
