Episode Details

Four fishers face steep fines after being caught poaching in a protected green zone off Bundaberg during a night patrol — a blatant violation that’s sparking outrage from reef authorities. With penalties now up to $3,640 per offense, their combined fine hits $14,500, and officials say they showed zero respect for the rules or the ecosystem. The group was nabbed with fish allegedly taken from a no-take zone, and while names remain hidden, the incident underscores the need for everyone to check zoning maps before heading out — because the reef can’t afford another cheat.
