Does anyone know the research boat going around the cape moreton area in summer for the last couple of years???? its a big white older shark cat with two yamahas on the back with big black writing research on the side! he comes over to each boat about 20 mtrs away and photographs you and looks at you taking details of your boat and doesnt wave or respond to any radio calls, does any one know what department or who they are????, and this is nowhere near a green zone at hutchies for example. just curious if anyone has encountered this boat
