Fisheries Management The QDPI&F are currently reviewing a number of Queensland’s major fisheries. The Combined Fisheries Management RIS includes proposals for the East Coast Trawl Fishery, the Tropical Rock Lobster Fishery, the Crab Fishery and the Finfish (Stout Whiting) Trawl Fishery. The Combined RIS is due to close submissions on the 27th August so hurry if you haven’t already got your in. There are many important issues confronting the East Coast Trawl Fishery and following the recent Trawl Port visits conducted by the QDPI&F where Queensland fishers from Scarborough through to Cairns had input into the future management of this fishery, the QSIA Trawl Committee recently met to finalise its position before completing its submission on behalf of members. For more information on this submission please contact the Trawl Committee Chair Robin Hansen or the North or South area representatives Mark Millward and Steve Murphy via this office. Also, the Rocky Reef Finfish Fishery Review is currently under way with a Stakeholder Working Group formed made up of stakeholders from across the various fishery sectors and the community to have a say on the future management of this important fishery. The QSIA representatives on this Stakeholder Working Group are Michael Gardner, Dave Thompson and Michael Thompson and can be contacted via our office for more information. It is anticipated that a period of public consultation will commence later in the year. To make a comment or for more information send me a message at:
