Trawl fishers say they will push for compensation if they are excluded from waters in the federal government's new offshore wind energy zones.

Commercial fishers say they should be compensated if they are barred from fishing in parts of the oceanStar of the South is encouraging concerned parties to participate in the consultation process

But fishers are concerned they will be excluded from the sections of the ocean where the turbines are built."I think it's obvious that Australia is moving to a lower carbon future," South East Trawl Fishing Industry Association executive officer Simon Boag said. Mr Boag's organisation represents the interests of owners, fishers and sellers in the trawl fishery of south-eastern Australia."Fishing businesses borrow against them. They're bought and sold between fishing businesses," Mr Boag said.Mr Boag said the exploration phase for new oil and gas developments was intrusive for the industry, but the longer-term exclusion zones were only a few hundred square metres."We're assuming trawlers can't go in there.
