Demersal Reopening Spring 2027 - Inshore Snapper

What are thoughts on the Fisheries commitment to reopen in Spring 2027 - it appears that a committment is indeed in place.

The question I have is related to the Snapper Spawning Closure (August-March). If they reopen the demersal fishery for Spring 2027, this would be well within the Snapper Closure and therefore lock out inshore snapper fishos until 2028.

I've posed the question to Recfish - a reopening of the fishery in 2027 should cater for all, including inshore snapper fisherman - who frequent the Sounds etc.

Cheers
