Southern Zone abalone season closure
Page Content
The Southern Zone of the licenced recreational abalone fishery closes for the season on 16 May and will reopen again on 1 October.
The closure, from the Busselton Jetty to the South Australian border, applies to Roe’s abalone as well as the larger brownlip and greenlip abalone.
As sea urchin can only be taken during the abalone open season, fishing for sea urchin is also not permitted during the season closure.
For more information see our recreational fishing rules.
