The Capricorn Conservation Council (CCC) says State Government agencies and industry bodies are failing to properly monitor industry pollution in central Queensland after sick fish were found in Gladstone harbour.
Fisheries Queensland has banned fishing for three weeks in the Gladstone Harbour, after barramundi and bream were found with sores, rashes and infected eyes.
CCC spokesman Michael McCabe says if industry is the cause, it has the potential to affect the entire central Queensland coastline.
"We need to apply much more precautions in terms of the damage we're doing to our coastal environment," he said.
