Real Journeys and Go Orange general mana ger Paul Norris at the hearing yesterday. Real Journeys Ltd has applied to the regional council to renew its coastal permit. Real Journeys requested an increase of backcountry trips in First Arm from 12 to 31 times each month. However, Real Journeys representatives did not feel the consented-for figures Mr Gericke used reflected the actual number of vessels. While Real Journeys originally requested a consent term of 25 years, a term of 12 years was recommended.
