The shape that was put forward in the latest option 2 was approved. We will be allowed to catch bait at the pier with a hook but the area north of the pier will now be a SMCA, (State Marine Conservation Area). This means that the take from this area will be limited.
I am not sure what the limitations are but given the way this thing has gone, I suspect that is is fairly close to a no-take zone.
It is hard to tell from the map.

It looks like the SMCA north of the pier does not include all of Blacks.
I am sure Paul can provide more details.
