Wasting fish and emptying dogs at Byron Bay

Back at Arakwal National Park beach via Cosy Corner carpark. Numerous dogs brought there again to be emptied out illegaly, making walking the beach unpleasant.
At the same spot at Cape Byron State Conservation Area and Cape Byron Marine Park again numerous large fish, some fileted left to rot and stink at the beach. The largest fileted one might have been a Parrot fish, the others were very large Snappers. Normal Australian 'recreational' fishing behaviour, but in a 'Conservation area that happens to be a 'Marine Park' some enforcement could take place to ensure the uniqueness of the 'protected areas. Or is it a case of 'Eat' your natural assets and flog them off as well? Shabby!
Update: Severed heads of five kangaroos found on beach, a common beach behaviour in Australia.
