"The services include the capture, tagging, relocation and release of target sharks in the Capes region of WA. The drumlines are to be set in specific locations and have a satellite-linked communications unit which is triggered on shark capture. The drumline operator will be required to continually monitor all SMART drumlines and respond within 30 minutes to a notification, and undertake specific tasks."
What are these tasks?
Respond within 30 mins?? In the Capes region... with like 3 boat ramps between Busselton & Augusta?
As if the cost of normal drumlines wasn't enough... now its 24/7 Response - what is that going to cost???
They will be set every morning and removed in the evening. If their not set for 5 hours a day, you wont get paid..Its gunna cost millions..
The last drum lines in the SW the contractor was paid around $6500 a day, to just kill whatever he caught.
The contractors in Northern NSW were paid less than $2000 a day..
