But two sets of boat owners have become involved a dispute so serious that a minister has been asked to personally visit the bay to ‘bring calm to the area’.
During States question time, Deputy Trevor Pitman revealed that a group of boat owners have clashed with commercial fishermen over a number of issues, particularly the use of a fresh water hose used to clean vessels and equipment.
He claimed that the dispute has hit such heights that the fishermen – a father-and-son team – have had their boat and equipment vandalised.
