Marine Species Protection Symposium

Developing Noosa’s preferred trial of shark control measures in the Noosa Biosphere Reserve

Following the release of the Queensland Shark Control Program: A review of alternative approaches (the Cardno Report), the Queensland Government Department of Agriculture and Fisheries is conducting trials of non-lethal shark mitigation technologies across the State.

The objective of the Marine Species Protection Symposium was to develop a preferred trial of shark control measures in the Noosa Biosphere Reserve to submit to The Queensland Government, and to further identify potential research projects to ensure the protection of marine species in the Noosa Biosphere Reserve.
