Now that from Red Bluff to Exmouth is World Heritage listed what is going to happen with the terrestrial side of the park? As of now the holders of pastrol lease 's within the park run the land in accordance with the terms and conditions of a pastoral lease . This must stop . Now that feral goats are worth money , irresponsible land managers are running way too many vermin on crown land . If a feral goat is given access to water and it's population controlled it becomes
managed. Goats Herders turn land into deserts. This coastline is too fragile to handle introduced goats .In 1976 goats were declared vermin for a very good reason, they are so destructive because 80percent of their diet is browsed which means the native shrubs cop it . The people that are letting this happen are protected by a recent change to legislation , a legislation that must be changed .Running declared vermin in World Hertage listed Marine Park is not on .
Maybe it would be a good idea to World Heritage List the whole world and declare humans to be vermin that should be eradicated.
Any herbivore without steady predation will consume its environment.. Humans are unable to provide steady predation anymore, and we killed all the wild predators..
In a few million years the native foxes and cats will speciate and some will evolve to a size big enough to hunt goats.. Nature will restore the balance..
Contact the (fheads)dep Department of environmental protection.. http://www.dec.wa.gov.au/content/view/6640/1812/
My guess is the goats and other ferral animals will be protected..

You cant do NOTHING to prevent the vermin
Warning.. Do not take firearms into a "world heritage listed park" You will be prosecuted.
Let the bureaucrats take care of there incompetence.
.
Your just starting to touch on problems that have been so called " IMPLEMENTED " by the DEP
Im sympathetic about your cause but i spent alot of money and time dealing with this department of incompetence without resolve.
"goodluck "
I thought they were called 'rangeland goats' now the ferals are worth something? Been up here fOr two weeks now, not seen a single goat. Probably too busy enjoying all the fish, sharks, whales, turtles and manta rays to worry about a few goats munching On some spinifex.
So if your in a rental property does that give me the right to go and camp and tell you you have 1 to many cats or dogs?
Why must it stop? because of a few goats you want to go into someones lease and tell them how to run it and camp there?
Go and camp on someones gold lease and tell them what they can and cant do and how to run it.
They have the lease you should respect that.

In this post your saying how the goats are destroying the land
but in another one of your posts your saying its ok to camp outside the camp grounds effectively destroying the land...i'm confused
DEC have no jurisdiction over a pastoral lease . These goat herders are only answerable to the state lands dept and the pastoral board which are pretty much the same dept. It would seem that they hold the best interests of these irresponsible lease holders before the best interests of the environment .Before the change of state government the coastal strip up to 2 km was to be taken off the pastrolists and managed by the DEC the same way cape range national park is managed. If this would have come into fruition camping would still be allowed at a nominal price and not run by greedy pastrolists that overcharge and give nothing back to the environment.
He probably thought it was rubbish left behind after their unauthorised camping trip.

Unless the goats have figured out how to munch on coral at low tide goats have nothing to do with the Ningaloo Marine Park.
Cape Range National Park is just that, National Park, no pastoral leases in there that I am aware of.
Gnarraloo Bay is part of the Ningaloo Marine Park, but I'm guessing above the high tide mark is all pastoral lease?
The Ningaloo Coast World Heritage area boundary excludes all areas under pastoral lease.
Geez - with so many goats there, militant pastoralists stealing wetties, and everyone at Gnaraloo being "gnarlosers" I reckon Leprechaun needs to go back home to de-stress after his holiday.
Looks like one extra campsite for us next year.
Maybe get onto Tourism WA..... top ideas for their new ad campaign-
"Don't be a Ningaloser, throw another goat on the barbie. C'mon what the bl00dy hell are you waiting for?"
Don't worry it wont be a problem soon, "Experts" claim with global warming, rising sea levels and the carbon tax people won't be able, want or afford to visit.
