The National Fisheries Plan provides a shared vision to grow Australia’s fishing and seafood sectors in a sustainable way. It does this by outlining initiatives and targets to be achieved by 2030 across 9 priority areas.
We created the Plan with state and territory governments and the seafood community.
The final Plan reflects the feedback we received through public consultation. It now highlights recreational fishing benefits and focuses on improving resource access security. It also emphasises the impacts of climate change and prioritises research.
We thank all fishers, industry and researchers for their input to the Plan.
We will now develop an implementation framework to achieve its targets.
