Hi Jazman.
Yes this has been an annual. There is an informative handout given before-hand as well as a results report made after.
No need for any specific locations. Keep it vague as you like. Normally what we report is matched with commercial or Fisheries officers bag checks etc. For example when we reported that it seemed more potting was now being done at the Heads and in shallow waters, this was confirmed because they are favouring red colored crays (Asian market) over the whites (deeper water).
These days I don't normally have time to dive so my interest lately is as a VRFish and SDFV rep trying to claw back or stave off changes promoted by the commercials or Fisheries.
