Fisheries management review: Last chance to have your say

The review of Queensland’s fisheries management is moving ahead with the release of the independent report by consultants MRAG Asia Pacific.

The report recommends a comprehensive suite of management reforms aimed at completely changing management arrangements.

There are 80 recommendations in total covering all aspects of commercial, recreational and traditional fishing.

Implementation of the proposed reforms – which include substantially altering the allocation of fisheries resources in Queensland and replacing the current Act and Regulations – will require significant change.

The Queensland Government is seeking community and stakeholder feedback on the recommendations.

The full report and recommendations can be viewed : https://publications.qld.gov.au/dataset/fisheries-management-review

You are encouraged to complete the short online survey: https://www.getinvolved.qld.gov.au/gi/consultation/2550/view.html

The survey closes 31 July 2015.
