11 Barra,7 Fingermark-Tragic sight

Early today at Palm Cove Jetty, 3 divers turned up with spears. Within 90mins these 3 guys had massacred 18 huge fish. I just stood there with my mouth opened in horror knowing that there was nothing I could do to stop them. They even laughed and bragged about how silly these fish were as they all just came up to them to investigate and showed no fear of divers.
What can we do to stop this slaughter of big fish like this? Do divers have to adhere to bag limits too?
No wonder there are no big fish left close inshore anymore.
I can't believe their attitude. Whatsmore these guys scaled and gutted and then just threw it all into the ocean to attract sharks when they were finished. I am now lost for words and feel like giving up fishing alltogether after a greedy slaughter like that.
