Consultation on National Fisheries Plan
Fishing is an important cultural, recreational and commercial activity for many Australians. To safeguard our national fisheries resources and support our fishing sectors, it is vital that Australia has a plan that supports the sustainable growth of Australia's fishing and seafood community.
The Australian Government is developing the first National Fisheries Plan and is seeking feedback from all sectors of the fishing and seafood community to help ensure the plan is reflective of the ambitions and priorities of all sectors.
Feedback on the National Fisheries Plan closes on 8 October 2021 with the final report due for release in early 2022.
