Investment and increased fishing effort warnings

Investment and increased effort warnings are formal notifications issued by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF). These warnings let potential investors, current fishers and boat owners know that any increases in fishing effort, catch or investment in a fishery made after the release of an investment warning may not be recognised in any future management arrangements for that fishery. Please phone the DAF Customer Service Centre on 13 25 23 to find out more about the reform process underway for individual fisheries.

Find updated information on the fisheries reform underway as part of the Sustainable Fisheries Strategy 2017–2027.
