CONSULTATION on the National Fisheries Plan is now open.
The Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment says the National Fisheries Plan aims to provide a “shared vision and strategic framework” to prioritise action and enhance collaboration among Australian governments and sectors.
The plan has eight focus areas including governance, indigenous engagement, sustainability, adaptation to a changing environment and employment in the sector.
Recreational anglers are encouraged to read the draft plan and take the online survey.
