The mission:

To continue tracking community views on

marine parks in South Australia

Sub-objectives:

1. Measure attitudes and perceptions towards marine parks in South Australia

2. Understand the community acceptance of establishing 19 marine parks by the end of 2012

3. Understand barriers and expectations of implementing the 19 marine parks in South Australia

OverviewThe Department for Environment and Natural Resources is responsible for delivering management plans for nineteen Marine Parks.

Research was conducted from 2006 to 2011 1 in order to measure changes in attitudes and perceptions towards marine parks, both in metropolitan Adelaide

and the coastal areas of regional South Australia.

There was a need to again track community attitudes and perceptions towards the creation of 19 marine parks in South Australia by t he end of 2012, the

Department of Environment and Natural Resources commissioned Square Holes to repeat the survey to gain understanding of current perceptions and to

provide recommendations based on the survey data.

Marine parks are internationally recognised as the best tool available to

protect marine environments at the same time as allowing for a range of

recreational and commercial activities

1 Note: Square Holes conducted the survey previously in 2009 and 2011

What we did? A total of 800 telephone interviews with adult South Australians were conducted in

the Square Holes facility on Regent Street North in Adelaide from the 30 th January to

the 8 th of February 2012 in the following areas:

Metropolitan Adelaide West/Eyre Peninsula Tumby Bay, Coffin Bay, Streaky Bay, Cowell, Port Lincoln,

Ceduna Northern / Yorke Peninsula Port Augusta, Whyalla, Port Pirie, Port Broughton,

Kadina, Wallaroo, Moonta Central and Kangaroo Island Victor Harbor, Goolwa, Port Elliot, Middleton,

Meningie, Kangaroo Island, Cape Jervois

South East Mt Gambier, Kingston, Robe, Beachport

Household contact details were randomly generated using an electronic Whitepages

product.

The sample composition was identical to the survey conducted in December 2009 and

February 2011 the questionnaire remained consistent with the 2011 survey to allow forcomparisons to be made.

The data throughout this report has not been weighted. The data has remained as

collected to ensure accurate and correct representation of respondent views.

All interviewers were IQCA trained and experienced. Staffs were fully briefed prior to

commencing and a supervisor managed the team at all times. The data was analysed by

statistician Graeme Tucker using the statistical package SPSS.

The Story

General awareness

The trend of declining understanding of marine parks as an area established

to conserve and protect the local marine environment has continued in

2012 with just 43% comprehending this.

In line with previous studies, regional respondents are more likely to believe

that a marine park is an area restricted to the public or closed to fishing

[37%] compared to those living in metropolitan Adelaide [23%].

Consistently, the main role of marine parks is to.. .

Protect marine life [plants/animals] [68%]

Almost half of respondents [47%] believe that increase in fish stocks / marine

life is a benefit of creating marine parks followed by preservation of the

environment [42%] and protection of marine habitats [39%]

Loss of commercial benefits as a result of marine parks is of particular concern

especially among regional respondent [31%] compared to metro respondents

[22%].

Support for marine parks

Consistently, the level of general support [85%] is high among South

Australians. Support for a restricted marine park in the local area has increased

since 2011 from 51% to 61%; however support declines when hearing of the

number of marine parks [19] to be created [54%].

General support is lower among those residing in regional areas [82%]

than those in metro Adelaide [87%] however the gap between regional

and metro views has declined since 2011

In contrast to previous studies the level of support remains consistent

regardless of whether a marine park has some areas that are closed to

fishing or not

Support for marine parks in the local area is approximately 10% higher

for metropolitan respondents [66%] than regional respondents [54%]

Marine environment and understanding of marine park access

The majority of South Australians [82%] believe that the marine environment is

under pressure from human activity. Metro respondents are more l ikely to think

that the marine environment is under pressure [86%] than regional

respondents [78%]. Reasons to believe this include over fishing [60%] and

pollution [36%].

There is confusion regarding access to fishing in marine parks among South

Australians. Unlike previous surveys where the majority have understood

fishing in marine parks as either not a llowed in any areas of the marine park

[44% 2011] or in some small areas of the marine park [37% 2011] this year

understanding is spread fairly evenly across the four statements signifying

overall confusion.

Similarly access to marine parks once introduced is not clearly understood

among South Australians. This follows the same declining trend as was

observed in 2011.

Overall there is a need for greater communication and

information to allow for increased understanding of the reality of

marine parks and the restrictions that will apply.

Other views about marine parks

Fewer than two in five [37%] do not understand the term multiple use

marine park a slight decrease from 2011 [41%].

One in five [18%] understand multiple use marine parks as can be used for a

number of recreational activities. Consistent with 2011, less than one in

ten [8%] understand multiple use of marine parks as can be used for several

purposes with limited access .

There is a general level of agreement with statements about marine parks with

the majority agreeing it is the responsibility of the current generation to

preserve the marine environment for future generations [88%]. There

has been little change in agreement since 2011.

Overall Adelaide metro respondents are approximately 10% more likely to

agree with statements than regional respondents. 63%

conserve and protect the local marine environment. Knowing this they were

asked to specify what they believed the main roles of a marine park are.

The majority [68%] believe the role of a marine park is to protect marine life

[plants / animals] . A further two in five [43%] believe it is to protect the

environment / better environment . This is consistent with February 2011.

Key Patterns:

There is relative consistency between metropolitan and regional respondents

on the role of marine parks

Those against the creation of marine parks are least likely to understand the

Reasons for supporting marine parks

South Australians were asked to specify their reasons for supporting marine

parks. Three in five of those in support of marine parks [60%] do so to

protect marine life [plants /animals] .

Approximately two in five South Australians support marine parks in order to

preserve the environment for future generations [45%] and or to

protect the environment [40%]; experiencing a slight decline in since

February 2011.

Key Patterns:

There is relative consistency between metro and regional respondents on the

reasons for supporting the creation of marine parks however regional

respondents are slightly less likely to believe protection of the environment

[35%] and maintaining biodiversity [17%] are reasons

Similar to 2011 those who fish [47%], snorkel or dive [56%] or go boating

[46%] are more likely to support marine parks in order to increase fish

stocks

monthly. A further three in ten [27%] do so less often.

Results are consistent with 2011 findings.

Key Patterns:

Participation in recreational activities within the marine environment has

remained fairly consistent with December 2009

Regional respondents are more likely to participate in general recreation [58%

vs. 51%], boating [26% vs. 11%], or fishing [30% vs. 12%] in the marine

environment than metropolitan respondents

The marine environment under pressure

The majority of South Australians [82%] agree that the marine environment is

under pressure from human activity; a slight increase from February 2011

[78%]

Key Patterns:

Those in the South East [70%] are least likely to believe the marine

environment is under pressure

Reasons for the marine environment under pressure

South Australians were asked to specify their reasons for believing the marine

environment is under pressure from human activity. Results from February

2012 have remained fairly consistent with the previous survey. Three in five of

those who believe the marine environment is under pressure consider overfishing [60%] the reason.

Almost two in five believe the marine environment is under pressure due to

pollution [36%].

Key Patterns:

There is relative consistency between metro and regional respondents in their

views towards issues placing the marine environment under pressure

Those not in favour of creating marine parks are least likely to believe that over

fishing [40%] and pollution [20%] are causing threats to the environment

Attitudes towards marine parks

Benefits of marine parks

Two main benefits of creating marine parks in South Australia are identified as

increase in fish stocks/marine life [47%] and the preservation of the

environment for future generations [42%] which has experienced a slight

decline since February 2011 [48%].

Other benefits for the creation of marine parks in SA include protection of

marine habitats [39%], better environment [21%] or less pollution [10%].

Key Pattern:

Metro respondents are slightly more likely to recognise the preservation of the

environment for future generations [46% vs. 38%] and protection of marine

habitats [43% vs. 36%] as benefits to creating marine parks than regional

respondents continuing the same trend as in February 2011

Consequences of marine parks

Approximately a quarter of South Australians believe a ban on fishing [24%];

fewer opportunities for recreation [24%] and loss of commercial

benefits [26%] to be a consequence of creating marine parks in SA.

There has been an overall decline in awareness of consequences of creating

marine parks and an increase in those who do not know [29% from 24% 2011].

Key Pattern:

Loss of commercial benefits is a key concern for those against marine parks

[37%] and regional respondents [31%] are compared to metro respondents

Understanding of fishing in marine parks

There is an overall lack of understanding of fishing in marine parks

demonstrated by an approximately one in five believing each scenario. This is a

significant difference from 2011. The questionnaire remained consistent and

the data has been checked to ensure accuracy.

Key Pattern:

Those in the South East are most likely to understand that fishing will not be

allowed in any part of the marine parks [30%]

Access within marine parks

There has been a decline in those who believe they will have limited access

to marine parks from 32% in February 2011 to 25% February 2012. Whilst

there is an increase in those who believe there will be access to swimming

[20%], boating [15%], and snorkelling [14%] since 2011.

Understanding of multiple use marine parks

Two in five South Australians [37%] believe they cant understand the term

multiple use marine parks, a slight decline since 2011. This has constantly

decreased since March 2009 [54%].

The understanding of multiple use marine park is varied, however one in five

understands them as allowing a number of recreational activities [18%]; or

as allowing for several purposes [18%]. These have remained fairly

consistent from February 2011.

Agreement statements

Respondents were asked to rate their agreement with the following statements

on a scale of strongly agree [5] to strongly disagree [1], figures represent the

means calculated from average responses. There is a consensus among most

[4.5] that it is the responsibility of the current generation to preserve the

marine environment for future generations, consistent with 2011.

It is also widely agreed that introducing marine parks is a small price to pay for

the benefits that will be generated [3.8] and introducing marine parks will

benefit all South Australians in the long run [3.8]. These have remained

consistent with February 2011.

Key Pattern:

Metro respondents [70%] are more likely to agree that introducing marine

parks will benefit all South Australians than regional respondents [54%]

In favour of marine parks and some restricted areas [10%]

Please see the following pages with selected quotes. Percentages above are of those who commented [n=232].


33/53

30


Information needs and means of communication

Be clearer about what marine parks are, what restrictions there will be etc

I would like to be provided with more information about this.

Would like more information before decisions made.

The need of community involvement in the decision

It shouldnt be introduced too quickly without a lot of consultation.

The government needs to have a better understanding of the local communities and what is at stake for them if the parks are introduced. More

information for the people involved

The need to minimise economic impact [i.e. professional fishermen]

I am against marine parks because small business fishermen will suffer economically a s a result of not being able to fish. And this will in turn negatively

affect the fish buyers.

So they are a good idea but we need to take into consideration the people that make a living out of fishing.

Im concerned about the adverse impact on commer cial fishing/ could make life harder for fishermen.

The need to minimise impact on day to day life [i.e. recreational fishing, access to beaches]

We need to be careful not to make it so we cant go fishing and enjoy what we have now.

Ensuring that the unique plants and animal life in the marine environment can continue to survive but still allowing some recreational fishing

They need to look at a balanced picture


34/53

31


Needs to be policed properly

As long as its policed well.

The recreational fishermen who are overfishing within legal limits need to be stopped. More policing is needed. For the inevitable increase in poaching

after marine parks are set up.

19 is too many

We do not need any more marine parks, we have enough already.

19 parks is too many for such a small coastline

The selection of areas is not appropriate

In favour of marine parks and some restricted areas.

Benefits outweigh the negatives.

Would like know that something is being done

They are a great idea and good on them for standing up for what they think is right even against strong opposition

The respondent profile is very similar to previous survey waves to ensure

comparability of data.

There was a slight skew in gender towards female [57%] respondents.

In February 2012 there was a skew towards older respondents 40 years andover.

Half of respondents [47%] are in paid employment. Of those two in five [37%]

are in white collar occupations.

Of those not in paid employment the majority are retired [76%], this reflects

the age skew.

There is a relatively even distribution of household income among respondents.
