The Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) have undertaken a five-year review of the rebuilding strategies for
orange roughy and
blue warehou and is seeking your comments to help inform the development of the revised rebuilding strategies.
The consultation period closes at 5pm AEDT on
Friday 12 February 2021.
Each year, AFMA reviews progress against the rebuilding strategies with a particular focus on catch and effort data to ensure that targeted fishing is not occurring, and reviews other key fishery indicators to monitor the rebuilding of the stock. Every five years, AFMA undertakes a formal strategic review of each rebuilding strategy. Following the five-year review, AFMA considers the outcomes and may develop a revised rebuilding strategy which is subject to public consultation and then endorsement by the AFMA Commission.
This feedback survey requests general information and comments/feedback on the rebuilding strategies. Background information is provided on the following pages.
If you prefer you may provide your feedback to AFMA via email: rebuildingreviews@afma.gov.au
