Queensland Sustainable Fisheries Strategy

[Gad]

In June 2017, the Queensland Government released the Sustainable Fisheries Strategy 2017-2027, paving the way for Queensland to have a world-class fisheries management system.

Some of the actions in the Strategy include things like harvest strategies for each fishery, satellite tracking on all commercial fishing boats, regionally specific fishing rules and using new technologies more effectively.

Importantly, these reforms also deliver on a number of actions under the Reef 2050 Long Term Sustainability Plan, highlighting our ongoing commitment to the Great Barrier Reef. 

The Strategy and factsheets about what the Strategy means for different stakeholder groups are available online at www.daf.qld.gov.au.

20 more patrol officers is a very positive outcome but probably only replaces the ones that newman sacked,

Looks good but we will have to be vigilant and participate in working groups to ensure that our interests are not over ridden by other vested interests.

Have a good read of the entire link.
