John MacKenzie chats with Dan McCarthy, Captain of Big Fish Downunder Charter Boat, about the threat posed by crocodiles as they encroach on human territory.

The comments were made following a man's boat being rammed by a crocodile in the Burdekin area, south of Cairns. The Department of Environment and Science has issued a warning to boaties and a spokesperson has confirmed that the croc will be removed if found.

Dan McCarthy reiterated previous warnings that the reptiles are encroaching on human spaces and a better management policy is urgently needed.
