Episode 125: Lauren Douma + Simon and Gordon from Marine Safety
This week we have 3 great guests lined up to keep you all entertained over the Christmas and New Years break!
Firstly we chat with Lauren Douma, who has recently been elected to the RecFish SA board. She is sure to contribute plenty to the organisation, she is super enthusiastic about getting new people into fishing, including some disabled clients that she works with. Having only taken up fishing relatively recently she also brings a unique perspective to the board in that regard, she shares her journey into fishing and tells us how she wants to contribute to RecFish.
We are also joined by Simon Schwerdt and Gordon Panton from Marine Safety SA to chat about keeping everyone safe on the water, particularly over the busy summer holidays. Gordon (Manager marine Safety and Compliance) and Simon (Unit Manager Boating, safety and compliance) share some tips on how to keep your safety gear up to standard, talk us through planning a safe day out on the water and also talk about some common things people forget or get wrong. This is all super important information to keep everyone safe over Christmas and particularly relevant for anyone who doesnt fish as often as they would like!
Plus, we have all the latest fishing news from across the state including:
- The Allocation Review Committee has met to discuss some key species including King George Whiting and Yellowtail Kingfish.
- SAFTAG and RecFish SA are hosting a tagging event on February 1st.
