### 4/5 — Its good to have a zoning map accessible

*2024-10-12*

But in the great sandy marine park at Barolin rocks in Bundaberg it says I’m not in a green zone and it looks like the green zone applies 100 meters off the shore and I went down to have a quick fish at the rocks and some guys let me know that fisheries still come out and get people for fishing there off the rocks. So I was wondering if I am allowed to go fishing there or if it is still a green zone.

### 2/5 — Clearly written by a bureaucrat

*2024-07-01*

Giving it 2 stars is generous. Come on QLD govt!! Click on the zones and it tells you little. Click on any of the go slow zones and it says you should navigate off the plan (what plan; what does that mean??) and no mention of speed. Try flat rock or flinders reef and it says “no anchoring”…. Is that all? Back to navionics.

### 5/5 — I like this app
