even the nonpermanent resident holiday home owners to participate in helping keeping a clean and healthy beach is nothing short of amazing. The fact that residents decided that they wanted a regular monthly activity is a testament to the success of the Landcare/Residents’ Groups education efforts.’ Batemans Marine Park Batemans Marine Park was established on 30 June 2007 and encompasses all waters at Rosedale. The waters split into two zones commencing at a north-east position on the rock ledge at the southern headland, with the boundary line extending eastwards along latitude 35⁰ 49.030", via the north-east tip of Jimmies Island to a longitude 150⁰ 14.341" position at sea. The Habitat Protection Zone extends northwards from the boundary line along Rosedale's beaches and coves, McKenzies Beach, Pretty Point and on past Batemans Bay to Wasp Island at Durras South. Minor restrictions apply to Recreational fishing and major restrictions on Commercial fishing in the Habitat Protection Zone. The Burrewarra Point Sanctuary Zone which includes Jimmies Island, commences south of the boundary line and extends around to Nuns Beach, Tranquil Bay, Guerilla Bay, around Burrewarra Point to Long Nose Point. All Recreational and Commercial fishing is prohibited in the Sanctuary Zone (there was an Amnesty for Recreational line fishing from mainland ocean beaches and headlands, with an exclusion area around Burrewarra Point that operated from March 2013 to December 2014). The Burrewarra Point Sanctuary Zone is a breeding ground for grey nurse sharks (critically endangered).
