Following consultation with the local community, Busselton City Council has made the decision to write to the Minister of Fisheries to advise of their support for a ban on shark fishing with a wire trace at the Busselton Jetty.

Over the last two years the City has received notification of the targeting of tiger sharks off the Jetty and tiger shark carcasses being left on the ocean floor, potentially increasing interactions between sharks, swimmers and divers.
