I do enjoy collecting abalone, oysters or other molluscs off the rocks. Is this as dangerous as rock fishing?
Whenever you’re on coastal rocks where waves can sweep you into the water, you should follow the same practical guidelines to keep safe – know and understand the weather conditions and tides, don’t go alone, and wear the right gear, especially non-slip shoes. And remember you need a fishing licence when collecting any marine creatures, even by hand.
