Boat operators are being reminded to steer clear of Warrnambool’s Logans Beach from tomorrow, when the annual vessel exclusion zone to protect Southern Right Whales begins.
The Logans Beach exclusion zone is in place from 1 June until 31 October every year to protect migrating Southern Right Whale mothers and their calves sheltering in the nursery area.
The Conservation Regulator enforces the exclusion zone, which prevents all powered watercraft, including boats and jet skis, from entering the area.
The fine for any vessel entering the Logans Beach Exclusion Zone is $3,170.
