Investment and increased effort warnings

Investment warnings notify potential investors that any increase in fishing effort, catch, or investment in a fishery may not be recognised in any future management arrangements.

Investment warnings and increased effort warnings are relevant to:

• potential investors
• current fishers
• boat owners.

We recommend you seek independent financial advice and consider current warnings before making any investment decisions.

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.
