| | Crabbing ban in Cockburn Sound : thewest.com.au |
 | | The State Government has banned commercial and recreational crab fishing in Cockburn Sound for at least a year, raising more concerns for the environmental health of the stressed waterway and putting more pressure on the Peel-Harvey area. |
 | | Recfishwest executive director Frank Prokop rejected Mr Fordâs explanation, saying commercial fishing of pre-spawn female crabs in late winter, poor fisheries management and industrial development were to blame. |
 | | Cockburn Sound crab fisherman Robbie Santaromita, who has fished the sound for 27 years, blamed industrial development, including the construction of the Garden Island causeway, groynes for shipbuilding and dredging of channels. |
